The Gabel Family

Mary Sue Volpe Roocke passed away unexpectedly Tuesday May 28th 2008. Beloved Wife of Charles Roocke, mother to Jennifer, Tracey, Charles and Alexandra and grandmother to her new Grandson Everett Gabel. Her life truly revolved around her children. She would always encourage her children to excel academically and be socially responsible. She was known for her compassion and unending ability to give of herself. If an Angel ever graced this earth it was Mary Sue.

On Sunday May 25 she became a proud grandmother to 6lb 11 0z Everret Gabel. Her sun shone as bright as any star in the universe that day and she had the privilege of spending her last day with her daughter Tracey and her new grandson Everret.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to:
The MarySue Roocke Memorial Trust
1919 Stanley Drive

Merrick, New York 11566

Tracey is being an AMAZING woman in this very difficult time and we are both making Everett our number 1 priority, as we know MarySue would have wanted.

Phishin' Jammy's

YouTube Vids from the Show

Went to the Jammy's last night at the Wamu at MSG. Got to see String Cheese, Disco Biscuts, Gov't Mule, Doug E. Fresh (yeah), Galactic and a bunch more. They all performed their own songs and did a cover of some classic rock tune - was a very cool thing to see/hear! HOWEVER, even though all of Phish was there (for the first time in 4 years), the didn't play together! Page played with some old Jazz guys, Trey with a Beatles cover band, and guys from SCI and DB played a 40 min Phish set that included Antelope, Wilson, Maze and 2001, which was awesome, but not the same ... serious musical blue balls! Anyway - was def. a good time and can't wait to take baby g next year (tracey is laughing reading this)...
