Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. May the many memories of your sweet mother comfort you at this time. I recall many years through CK, BK and time at the dance studio of your mother's kind, soft-spoken words of encouragement to her children and any others close by. She'll always be in your hearts. Blessings of peace. Sharon Williams Hackney

Dear Gorospe Family,
Thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. Karen Nasrallah

For close to 15 years your mother was closer to me than my own. She always had a tender heart and gentle soul. I watch her tend to many children and countless creatures all without bias or expectation of a thank you. Even in illness she never grew mean or short with those around her. I will miss her terribly; but knowing that she is home with God makes it a blessing. My prayers are for all the ones left behind, that they remember all of the times she was there for them.
God Bless,
