Gabby Bowl 1

Resides with Gabby

The original Gabby bowl was given to Gabby a few months before the accident.  When her Daddy brought it in to show her after he made it, she cupped it in her hands and said "my bowl".  This bowl resides with her.  We don't have any pictures of the original Gabby bowl.  But the image of her reaction to this bowl will reside in the heart and memory of her Daddy.  This picture was the last picture we took of Gabby on Sunday, July 17, 2011.
