We are dearly sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother. Dona Julia was like a mother to us, she showed her love to each one of us. I'm going to miss her dearly, especially her "consejos" and food. She was a good example of how to love one another and not to let any obstacles get in the way and to be united no matter what because God would bless each one of us tremendously.

Love, Mimi and family
