My deepest sympathies. I knew Adara a while -- we performed stand-up together in NYC. She was a sweet and funny lady and always seemed very happy. Even though I didn't know her very well, there seemed to be an instant recognition, which is why we got along so well. I will miss seeing her.

Mi más sentido pésame para Gladys y todos los familiares.

Así, sin más se fue, una mujer extraordinaria, que quienes la conocieron, los dejó una marca, un pensamiento, lágrimas pero sobre todo las ganas de vivir, de amar, de sentir.

Iris, No te digo Adios sino hasta pronto!

Te recordaré simpre.
