She is survived by her loving mother, Jennifer Gibson; (Nana) Donna Foster; (Papaw) Greg Gibson; Uncle Todd Gibson; (Mimi) Erma Foster; Uncle and Aunt, Steve and Debbie Foster; and a host of other relatives; plus special friends, Doug and Carol Ellis and Jan Dore; also, her father and step-mother, Jonathan and Lauren Clay and his family. Thank you to all of the doctors and nurses at UT Medical Center Trauma Unit who valiantly worked to save our precious girl. Abby was a rising fifth grader at New Hopewell Elementary School. She loved spending time with her family, reading, biking, swimming and being outside. Her dream was to one day be a veterinarian and take care of all the animals she loved.
