?Der Wind staerke Dir den Rücken;
die Sonne scheine in Dein Gesicht.
Bis wir uns wiedersehen, berge
dich Gott in der Tiefe seiner Hand.’
Liebe Martina, lieber Denis, liebe Destiny, liebe Teresa. Nachdem ich den Anruf bekommen hatte, war ich als erstes gelaehmt. Bewusstlos und erfuellt von einer unsaeglichen Traurigkeit.
‘?Haetten wir doch’?’ ‘? aber das alles aendert nichts mehr am Tod des kleinen Gabriel. Wie furchtbar das alles ist. Aber ich bin ueberzeugt davon, dass er nun in einer besseren Welt ist. Nur ist es so schade, dass wir Ihn nicht mehr druecken und kuessen können. Aber sicher kuemmert sich jetzt Tante Hedwig um Ihn. Und die machte das immer großartig!
In stillen Gedanken trauern in Stuttgart
Peter & Josh. Wir sind bei Euch!
Mit Bestürzung haben wir vom Tod des kleinen Gabriel Dorian erfahren. Unser aufrichtiges Mitgefühl gilt der Familie. Uns allen fehlen die Worte um unserer Trauer ausdruck zu geben.

There is not a day that goes by that I replay the Abuse that Monica Duckett did to her soon. I sat in prison for almost 20 years and tried to figure out exactly what happened to Gabriel. It’s interesting to know though that Monica jumped on a Plea deal with the state and turned everything on me.
I was a guy friend who took Gabriel into my custody cause his mother was using drugs and selling her body for drugs and was never home to properly raise her son. I witnessed horror at the way Monica abused her son and I tried to change that. But I actually think that Monica became jealous and she became more violent to me and Gabriel.
Everyone is pointing there finger at me when they should be pointing there finger at Monica.
Look at her background with her daughter and look at the DSS reports about Gabriel. These reports where their long before I came along.
I try Not to think about this anymore but when I pull something like this up and I read what people say, well it’s truly disturbing that people don’t know the Truth.
Truth being….
Monica planned her son’s death and I just happened to be at her apartment that day and she framed me for it. She talked about it for weeks and I just thought she was talking.
What people don’t know is that Monica was abusive to me to. Verbally & Physically.
There where a lot of times she would leave her son Gabriel locked up in his room all day with No change of diapers and No food. She had Numerous men at her home using drugs in front of her son and she engaged in sex with these men with her son in the room. She had No respect for herself or her son or anybody else. Monica had drug Addictions and Nothing was more important than that.
What everyone is saying about me is a load of Crap!!!
I was an innocent bystander and I did Monica’s Time. She should have been the one charged with Murdering her son Gabriel.
Yes… I took a plea deal.. only because I had poor representation and I knew No matter what that I wasn’t going to get a Fair trial in a Bible belt Town.
It’s truly a shame what happened to Gabriel. I to have visited his Grave site many of times and it shames me that I feel like I already knew what Monica was going to do to Gabriel but I Never reached out to anyone about that knowledge and that in itself is what made me feel guilty. That in itself is the ONLY thing that made me feel guilty!
Was Justice served? No….
Monica Murdered her Son and I was blamed. So how was Justice served??
Now Monica walks around and continues to spread lies about what really happened. Almost like she was the victim. When actually Gabriel was the victim and I was just someone to blame for his death.
I asked myself for years how God could allow this abuse to be unchecked and then how God could take back Gabriel’s Soul. No response back so I lost Faith in God.
I’ve lost Faith in a lot of people and now in my life I just try to find peace.
You might ask if I have Children? Well that is nobody’s business and it will stay that way.
But the real thing that people NEED to address is Why does Monica have 2 Felonies? How did she get them and why?
I’m Not lighting a Candle here. I don’t believe that Gabriel’s Soul is still in this World and people who stand over bodies with No souls to me is Time wasting. Sorry it’s just my view.
I will say though that before Gabriel died I was able to teach him how to pray and that is one thing I’m proud of. Plus the fact that I tried to give him the Love & attention that he deserved. I was a Good man / Father figure to him. He will be missed and he has been missed everyday.
People need to Stop judging me and look at all the facts first. Then and only then will you all see more clearly.
