Mr. Solorzano and Diane I cound't find the right words to express myself, but I just want to let you know that I was so thankful of getting to know your mom I enjoyed all her stories of her childhood, her two sons, and many stories about the bible which she love to talk about. Most of all I'm thankful when she comfort me when I was sad; she was like the grandma I wish I would of had. Will always be in our prayers, Alma and Fernando.
