My family will never forget how to get to Bridal Falls the back way. We rode and swam there before the fences went up. There was always something to eat at your mama's house- no matter how many of us there were. Those good ole memories will get us through these rough times. Our prayers are with you!

To The Family,
I will miss your Mom and always remember the old days when we were all kids. It was impossible to go to her house and not eat, she always had pots of chile, beans and homemade tortillas on the stove and wouldn't let you leave without having some. She was a great lady with a fantastic sense of humor and I will miss her.
God Bless You!
