Funeral Information for Gabriel
Holy Rosary Bilingual Academy
Student Choir to Sing at Funeral
The funeral mass for Baby Gabriel will be held on Thursday, June 7th at 11:30 am at Holy Rosary Church. The family has requested that the school choir perform at the funeral mass, since it is a celebration of the child's brief but important life. This is a very special request for us, since the choir is comprised of Olivia's class and they have been so incredibly supportive through this difficult time. I wanted to let all school families know about this for 2 reasons. First, please let us know if you have any concerns about your child attending the funeral service. If you do, they can stay at the school with Ms. Berenice or another teacher. Just email me or the teacher. The school choir is grades 3 and 4 and these children will attend the entire mass. The Magnificat will be done at the end by the 5th - 7th graders, who will only be present for the very end of the mass. So, only grades 3 - 7 are a part of the services. No other children will be attending unless the parents are attending and have their child/ren attend with them.
Secondly, please know that you are very much welcome to attend, as we all want to show our love and support for the Lorella-Kuzu family. Those who have experienced the death of a loved one know how challenging this time can be and when it is the loss of a child, it is unthinkable. Please continue to send your thoughts and prayers to Christina, Timur, Olivia, and Lilah as they prepare to say a final goodbye to Baby Gabriel. And, please know that you are welcome to attend (with or without your child/ren).
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
With Blessings,
Katie Dempsey
