  13. Congradulations! Gabe is so precious!!! I'm a little disappointed though...what ever happened to Danielle Kaitlyn or Kaitlyn Danielle??? Well I guess if I was a boy I wouldn't want to have those names either :) Just wanted to let you know that you two as parents is more than any child of God could ask for. Congrats again and give him a big HUG for me ;)

    With prayers,

  19. Kristi and Patrick: Congratulations on the birth of beautiful Gabriel Patrick. He is truly adorable!! We're very thankful that all prayers were answered and Gabriel is here safe and sound. Also an amazing tribute to Our Lady of Fatima. You may not know this, but Grandmom & Grandpop Holwell had a picture of Our Lady of Fatima in their bedroom for a hundred years. I loved it - it always gave me such comfort growing up. That pics now in our bedroom! Our Lady is the best advocate for her Son...just like you'll be for yours!! I think it's a sign that your great grandparents are smiling down on you!! Can't wait to meet the little man ~~ Patrick, thanks for taking good care of our Kristi!! We love you both. Aunt Sallie & Uncle Rich (PA)
