To the Family of Esolina Lomba,

My Deepest sympathy to all of you. I am thankful for the pleasant conversation we had one week before she passes on. Our wish was to get to see each other soon if God permitted; and ours was one that was not meant to be. I will never forget the two days she took the bus from her home in Providence, to Shaw's Plaza in East Providence and pushed the cart to my home on Swan St., to express her sympathy for my late husband Babe Ramos. This was a great honor considering her age. We were very close to her. She will be truely missed, loved and always remembered. She was a special friend. Rest In Peace.

Love,
Gertrude Ramos
