Lupita, Jessica, and all of your family, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom passing away. I am so sorry that I didn't know until just a little while ago. She was such a sweet, beautiful lady and she was an awesome mother to you. I always remember your grandparents and that she was a devoted daughter, and she just loved your Dad. She was so precious. I hope I can hear from you soon, Lupita my friend. I always think about when I would visit you and your Mom would always welcome me like I was family. She was so loving. I am praying for your family to be comforted, I know you have faith. Love, Marti
