Eva,
My sincere love and condolences to you and your children. I, for one, will never forget her loving kindness and that smile that made you love to be around her. I have not seen you since you were about thirteen years old and can relate to you at that age only. Your dad was a first cousin to my mother Margaret Walters Saenz and maybe this way you can remember who I am. Time passes so fast but we can live on memories that are wonderful and this is the way I will remember Emma. God bless you Eva.
My love,
Helen Saenz Brusuelas
