Silent Keepers is a family business founded by Karen Gorski, who serves as principal caregiver. She learned early on that our heritage shapes who we are and who we will be.
Karen's passion for honoring family and memories evolved personally:
"In 1944, my great uncle Wallace, an Army Air Force second lieutenant, was killed when his B-24 was shot down. His body was returned to Michigan for burial. In time, his parents (my great grand parents) and other family were buried nearby. After six generations, our family continues to visit these graves every Memorial Day, to remember Wallace and his service to our country, and share stories about those who are no longer with us. While there, we maintain the area out of respect for their lives and their importance to ours. If I were no longer able to do this, I would find someone to carry on our tradition."
Silent Keepers grew out of that commitment. Adding a career as a nurse, most recently in hospice care, gives Karen and Silent Keepers a profound understanding of both the emotional depth of loss and the need to celebrate and remember.
