Dear Norma, Gina, Henry & Luigi,
I'll never forget my first experience eating *refried beans & enchiladas* coming out to Calif. from the South, Pensacola Florida back in 1965 I never knew what Mexican food was. Your Mom made the best food ever and she couldn't get over how I really enjoyed it and never had Mexican food! After school (Banning High) Norma would invite me over, and there on the table would be my *bean burrito* or *encilladas* waiting for me.
Your mother, Isabel, was a beautiful and giving person, a heart of gold and a joy to talk to.
She's resting now with no more pain, and at peace.
May you all find the strength and love among each other and stay strong for her, carry on her wonderful legacy.
With Warm Regards;

Irene Warth-Perez
From the Island of Guam
(Your Guamanian/German friend)

Liz and I had been friends since we were 13 years old. Whenever we saw each other, we would have a good laugh about the ''old'' days and she always teased me about not joining the Seniors Club. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Lomeli Family. Sincerely Virgina ''Virgie'' Aguallo Guerra
