Gabriele, the Canadian woman who died during an armed robbery on the Northeast Bypass, wrote reflections and feelings about the trip she would make from Oaxaca to Canada

The serene look, the friendly smile and her affection for pets stand out in the images that Gabriele, a 50-year-old woman, who was murdered in El Marqués, shared on Facebook early this Sunday.

ThThe tragic incident occurred during his return trip to Canada , his country of birth, from Zipolite, Oaxaca. She was accompanied by pets and a friend, who survived the attack by assailants not yet arrested.

On March 13, Gabriele published a letter in which she explains the motivations for her long trip, which, unfortunately, was cut short unexpectedly at a stop, where she and her companion stopped for food.

In the text he shares that it was time to return to Canada, since his mother required his company.

He also says that, although his eldest son had been living with his grandmother for the last three years , it was already too much responsibility for him.

“However, I cannot leave without my pets. After hours of searching to find the easiest way to take them with me, I have decided that making the trip by car is the best option. I have already bought a large enough truck and I have sold the belongings that I could not take with me,” she says.

To meet the goal, he asked for financial support on social networks and got it. He soon had enough money to repair the truck he would use and pay expenses during the trip. In total it was 6 thousand Canadian dollars, equivalent to about 74 thousand Mexican pesos.

“It's hard for me to ask for help again. She had done it twice before in the last four years. The first was to ask for support to keep a cinema open (in Zipolite, Oaxaca) during the Covid pandemic and the second time was last year, when my son (…) suffered an accident that left him severely injured. Without the support of the people, he would not have been able to achieve it.”

With determination, he affirms that it is time to move on, despite the memory of the people, the sights and the sounds of his beloved Zipolite, which he would always keep in his heart.

“I hope to carry something from this place in my spirit to build something similar in Canada,” Gabriele also expresses in the letter.
