Our mom was of “The Greatest Generation.” Her legacy was her never ending, unconditional, and profound love to her family. She was our Angel on Earth and will be in Heaven.

A special thank you to her caregivers, Yolanda, James, Robin and Joseph Gurkin. The family would also like to thank Father Tom Frank for always being there when the family has needed him the most. Thank you to everyone in our time of bereavement.

Dearest Mom, our family will in time see you again in Heaven. Know you are deeply in our hearts eternally. Mom, God Bless you always ~ your loving family, the strong, good Lopez family that you raised.
