    THANKS Stella for all of the news. My work was very difficult this month, but I am ever present at the distance. And ever active and surprising is Our Gabriel. He arrives before the public with emotions and feelings so deep and real. It is lamentable that some people cannot value the depth of his book, his life, sincere and real. I guard his book on my computer like a jewel and read every page, which is full of courage and feelings in each part of his life. Now he looks so tired and thin–I suppose that is logical, with all of his efforts. I wish him all the success forever. THANKS Stella for this video … always expressive and unique in all that he does. The best for you always. I am very grateful for all this news.
