Talamantes Family,

Thank you sharing your beautiful Mother with us. Mrs. Talamantes always extended such warm hospitality to me, Berto and Trina. My sister, our children and I will greatly miss dropping by her home on Christmas Eve with our small token gift to her.

But most of all, I will miss receiving the beautiful Christmas cards that she'd send to us every year.

She leaves a great void in our hearts. May she rest in peace.

With all our love,

Barbara & Berto
