Dear Mary Lou, Manouk and family, My thoughts are with you at this time. I know Mary how close you and your mother were and I can only imagine what you must be going through right now.

Your mom was one of the kindest, wisest, most thoughtful people I've ever known. Your mom taugh me about having value for myself for being a women. This I will always keep.

Even though you and I are miles apart right now, please know that I'm praying for you. I know that you have the strength in you as you have your mothers love which will carry you through-out the rest of your life and I want to remind you that I'm here always for you. Your children are your beacons of love. They were so lucky to have had the wonderful, cherish times with their grandma. Yes they were truly blessed. As I recall when my own children experience the lost of their grandfather my dad. They to this day,they still recall the beautiful times they had with him and how lucky to have shared these times with him and how he taught them good old fashion family values.Also simple times like taking them to the park and just enjoying each others company. Well from my family to your, God Bless Sally & Ubaldo Olvera & family

Take care
