Ale Gambini (1971-2024)
February 26th, 2024 (Irvine, CA) – Letter From The Family
Dear Family and Friends,
It is with deep sorrow that I share the news of Ale’s passing. Today, the love of my life, the mother of our daughter, my best friend, and soulmate transitioned to a better life. With unwavering support from family and close friends, Ale bravely battled cancer for a year, giving her all in the fight. Despite her courageous efforts, cancer ultimately claimed her.
Ale chose to face her battle privately, pouring every ounce of her energy into overcoming it. Yet, her love for each of you never wavered.
In accordance with her wishes, we will not be holding a formal and public service or “celebration of life”. We kindly ask for your understanding and respect for our privacy during this difficult time for my daughter, myself, and our entire family.
In her first life in Italy, you may have had the opportunity to collaborate with her when she played percussion on records, toured live, or appeared on TV shows.
In her second life, she embraced her passion for sharing Italian food and culture in the USA. She reveled in writing and creating videos about it, teaching, and passionately promoting it. Together, we achieved our dream of becoming American citizens.
Above all, she cherished her role as a mother and took immense joy in watching Angie perform in concert bands or excel in swimming competitions.
Her vibrant spirit touched countless lives, and we will forever treasure her inner beauty, kindness, and zest for life. Her unwavering resilience in the face of this terrible disease inspired me and raised my standards of strength and courage. I witnessed her bravery every day as I supported and cared for her 24/7 throughout a challenging year.
Thank you all for your love, support, and understanding.
“LONG LIVE THE QUEEN”
