My condolences to the Raposo family on the passing of Isabel . I remember back in 1990 working together at Senhor Santo Cristo Church as volunteers on the board of directors. I always remember her delicious cooking. It was back then that our Board worked with Beechwood Cemetery to develop the Portuguese Section at Beechwood. Rest in Peace Isabel.
