His family fondly recalls his funny nature, how he would run away only to be caught and showered with laughter and love. Abel's essence was a testament to the power of unconditional love and the joy that a loyal companion can bring.

His family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming messages of support and prayers they have received. These gestures have provided solace and strength, reinforcing the profound impact Abel had on everyone he encountered. In accordance with the family's wishes, a private ceremony will be held to celebrate Abel's life.
