It was, indeed, time for the Myakka City community to say goodbye to Herrmann s Lipizzan Stallions matriarch Gabby Herrmann.
Herrmann s family held a Celebration of Life service May 8 to honor her following her March 13 death at the age of 66. The services were held in May after the performance season had ended.
Approximately 150 friends and family members gathered to exchange stories and memories of Herrmann s life. After those in attendance visited with each other, a 45-minute service was held with Father Vincent Clemente of the St. James Catholic Church of Lake Placid and Pastor Matt Curley of the United Methodist Church of Myakka presiding.
