Dear familia Castelan, I want to say that my husband Juan and I loved being with your mother and father when we all visited the Vatican to see Pope John Paul II back in 1998. Your mom made everyone laugh. Her sense of humor was beautiful. My husband and I are happy to have made friends with your parents while we traveled together. May God bless you.
