Aunt Conjetta, I know you are in heaven now but..
I miss you.
My mind knows that you are in a better place where there is no pain. You are at peace. I understand that, I just wish I could explain it to my heart.
There is an empty space in it that nothing will ever fill.
I grieve, but I know my tears are for me.
We will be together again.
Until then, my love will always be with you.

My deepest felt condolences, and love, to the Pepe family. Such was the welcome that Jo (and John) afforded me, that I felt a part of the Pepe family. Jo, you certainly had the gift of hospitality, compassion, and unconditional love - what a truly remarkable witness to the truths of Jesus! I have so many fond memories sitting around the Pepe dinner table, laughing, discussing the important topics of the day, and eating such great food! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

I called her Momma Pepe. Lots of good memories and times cooking in the kitchen she taught me how to cook and I still rate restaurants comparing their eggplant parm to hers. So glad able to have visited last time back in Houston. My thoughts and prayers are with you
