She should have just made an announcement on Twitter Or Instagram immediately following Gabe's death. This was going to be discussed among his family and friends, and there was no way to keep this from the public-at-large due to Gabe being known to the public through his appearances on Braxton Family Values during the height of popularity of the show.

At any rate, I am glad she made this statement, and he appeared to be a pretty good father to her sons.
