ForeverMissed
Large image

This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Rosetta Gabel, 73, born on June 12, 1938 and passed away on August 27, 2011. We will remember her forever.

Rosetta is survived by her beloved partner Margaret and cherished daughter Dominique. Rosetta graduated from the prestigious Belleve Hospital School of Nursing in 1958. She loved her country and proudly served in the US military from 1958-1962. Once she completed serving in the Army, Rosetta worked professionally as an RN. She would later become supervisor of nurses and use her knowledge and compassion to champion patients' rights.

In her personal life she could always be counted on to help family and friends with not only physical and medical needs but also with spiritual guidance. She used her skilled hands to create a garden of phenomenal proportion year after year. And when she wasn't tending to her ever growing garden, she could be found in her woodworking shop or firing up some polymer clay. An avid music lover, she enjoyed the listening to the blues, 70's r&b, and classical music. She even played banjo!

Rosetta enjoyed her family and friends and will be greatly missed by all those who were fortunate to have been a part of her life.

On Augest 27th Was The Day My Heart stopped
For a minute horrible hit me and my heart hopped
The sun was shiny like n angel on my face
as the tears dropped down like lace

My face lacks
As my mind is racing around being a wack
My mom starts crying,my dad starts crying
As my friend pushes me down so I am lying

I walk outside wanting to yell at the sky
But then I realized that would be saying goodbye
As I think of the bad times I also think if the good

Plant good seeds without thinking of the return.
Who knows when they will blossom..
This life or the next.

Remember to plant your sunflower seeds with love for Rosetta.

This is a note of thanks to Rosetta, for sharing her self & love with my awesome Godmother "Gee Gee" (known to many as Margaret). Rosetta, you and Gee built a beautiful life together, and lovingly created a home that has so many personal touches that you can not ever miss a mark by you or Gee .... To visit that home is like crawling into a warm hug from both of you. Rosetta is home.

Rosetta, what a beautiful name for a beautiful human being. I'll treasure her laughter, her wisdom, her heartfelt hugs, and her gracious soul, but most of all I treasure the love she gave to us all, especially Gee Gee (Margaret) & Dee. May we all hold a memory of her in our hearts so that it can grow to be a part of our every day. I love you, Rosetta...and miss you dearly.

Three years ago you and Margaret welcomed me into your hearts.  I remember feeling such joy when I looked in your eyes and saw that beautiful smile that was so familiar to me.  I miss sharing childhood stories that only you thought were funny because they were familiar to you.  You understood that through laughter and love we could overcome and we did.

Dearest Margaret, I am so sorry. I had no idea that Rosetta passed. The piece of this that all connects is that you have been on my mind lately. There, is GOD. My memories are those in the garden, snacking on coffee cake, and multe-grain bread!! Prayers with you.

Rosetta was a beautiful person that taught me about woodworking all the time keeping her mouth open while I worked on her teeth. Rosetta would lend me books on using the router and gave advice about constructing my sons guitar. I think of Rosetta and her beautiful Smile!
