IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

THIS IS DIFFICULT INFORMATION TO SHARE, THUS OUR REASON FOR ANY DELAY ON THIS BLOGSITE. FIRST AND FOREMOST, THIS FAMILY HAS AND ALWAYS WILL BELIEVE FOR GABBIE'S PHYSICAL HEALING. KNOWING THAT GOD CREATED EACH OF US AND KNOWS US BY NAME AND WHAT WE MUST & CAN ENDURE, WE TRUST HIS WISDOM AND OMNIPOTENCE CONCERNING OUR GABBIE. ONLY HE KNOWS WHAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO ENDURE IN THIS PHYSICAL REALM AND HOW MUCH PAIN SHE MIGHT HAVE TO SUFFER. IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS, GABBIE HAS HAD A DEVASTATING HIGH FEVER OF 108 THAT SHOULD HAVE ENDED HER LIFE, BUT SHE WAS SPARED-WE BELIEVE, FOR US. SINCE THEN, SHE HAS HAD VARYING DEGREES OF SEIZURES THAT CANNOT SEEM TO BE CONTROLLED BY HER DOSES OF MEDICATION. THE FAMILY, THE DOCTORS AND HER NURSES HAVE SEEN A REGRESSION IN HER RESPONSES-ALTHOUGH SHE STILL SEES IMAGES AND SOMEWHAT INTERACTS WITH US. THE FAMILY'S MAIN CONCERN IS THAT SHE APPEARS TO BE IN PAIN, DISTRESS OR DISCOMFORT A LOT MORE OFTEN THAT EVER BEFORE. WITH GABBIE, SHE HAS HER GOOD MOMENTS AND HER NOT SO GOOD MOMENTS. JOSH AND TERESA HAVE MADE A DIFFICULT DECISION TO ALLOW GABBIE TO GO AHEAD AND BE AT PEACE, HAVING FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, AS ANY WARRIOR WOULD. UNLESS GOD INTERVENES, GABBIE WILL FOLLOW THE LIGHT TO HER FINAL DESTINATION WHERE JESUS AND OUR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE ARE AWAITING HER ARRIVAL, WITH JOY AND THANKSGIVING. WE ARE ASSURED OUR FAMILY THERE WILL WATCH OVER HER UNTIL WE CAN BE WITH HER AGAIN. PLEASE SAY AN EXTRA PRAYER FOR OUR FAMILY ESPECIALLY THIS COMING SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12TH IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON, AS WE FACE THE MOST DIFFICULT THING WE MAY EVER HAVE TO ENDURE. WE KNOW THAT WE WILL STAND THROUGH THIS, BECAUSE OF ALL OF YOU. THIS WEEKEND IS GABBIE'S 9 MONTH OF LIFE ON THIS EARTH. GOD CHOSE THIS HUMBLE FAMILY TO GIVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIFT AND WE WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL. WE KNOW, HOWEVER, THAT ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY GOD AND MUST ONE DAY RETURN TO GOD. DUE TO JOSH'S MILITARY STATUS & NO PERMANENT HOME AT THIS TIME, GABBIE WILL BE CREMATED AND FINALLY BE ABLE TO COME HOME TO HER ROOM, AS WE HAVE ALWAYS HOPED. HER SPIRIT AND HER ASHES WILL GO WITH THIS FAMILY WHERE EVER WE ARE CALLED TO GO, SO THAT JOSH MAY SERVE THIS COUNTRY. PLEASE KNOW THAT A FOUNDATION WILL BE ESTABLISHED IN GABBIE'S NAME ONCE WE HAVE HAD TIME TO GRIEVE AND MOVE FORWARD WITH KEEPING GABBIE'S MEMORY ALIVE, BY TRYING TO PROVIDE RESEARCH FOR DIAPHRAM & NERVE TRANSPLANTS-SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE AND THAT MAY HAVE SAVED GABBIE'S LIFE. AN UPHILL BATTLE, BUT WE ARE UP FOR THIS CHALLENGE. WE INVITE EACH OF YOU TO JOIN US ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 13TH BETWEEN 2-4PM TO CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF OUR WONDERFUL GABRIELLA CHRISTINA MAYO HERE AT THE MILITARY HOUSING COMPLEX COMMUNITY CENTER AT WILLOUGHBY BAY IN NORFOLK, VA. PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL ONE OF US FOR DIRECTIONS. WE LOVE YOU ALL. GOD BLESS YOU RICHLY FOR YOUR KINDNESS TO US.
