It's a metaphor. BecauseChristopher “Way” Beattyis a Willow Belenski road, path or street leading into Holy Nathan Boselli Lindsey Bovine Mitchell Brinton style, Family, “way” is also a method, Ryan Brisnehan Brian Burch or manner of doing something. And Andrew Callaway Emily Campbell Patty Gabriel had a unique way of Zachary Canaday Katelyn Caviness giving back to Holy Family through her Estrella Chaffin William Chambers work with the alumni. Her way, her Oriana Chavez Raul Chavez dedication and love is what we should Eric Chiusolo Courtney Christenson seek in our own work, our ColtonvolunteerClingman Taryn Cook ism, and our spiritual purpose.

From dedication ceremony of Patty Garbiel Way by Seth Willden
Would that we could use mere words to describe Patty Gabriel, we might use the words kind, or funny, or helpful, but as her family knows, those words wouldn't really scratch the surface of who she really was. I knew Patty Gabriel when I was a student and then as a teacher and again when I became part of the alumni association. We each knew Patty in our own way. Classmates, friends, spouse, mother, aunt, grandmother, the list goes on. But truly it is clear that Patty has had an immense impact on those around her. And aren’t we lucky she chose to surround Holy Family High School. In every role she held at the school, she left an impression on me, but I got
to know her best through the alumni association. She was an advocate for students and her focus was on growing alumni relationships, not merely as a system of fundraising but as a way to unify through a shared history. She brought with her traditions from the 44th and Utica campus like the Chili Homecoming Dinner and the May Crowning, traditions that continue and flourish on the Broomfield campus. Patty was dedicated enough to see the traditions and spirit of the Denver school and bring them to the northern suburbs. Perhaps cliched, but Holy Family High School would not be the place it is today without Patty’s dedication and love.
