Eva, mil gracias for taking care of my Kathy Rose almost 35 years ago when you made her first wedding dress. To this day, I carry a photograph on my cell phone that the Santa Fe New Mexican published over 35 years ago of Kathy Rose wearing a wedding dress that you made. You are now with God, His Son, and Our Blessed Mother. Rest in Peace and may the angels get their new wings in pure white and snow with you sizing and measuring them in style for each one of them. Blessings to your family on earth and we will keep all of the Griego familia in prayer.
Bendiciones,
Jose & Kathy Rose Villegas
