From the UNR Magazine today, I read the loss of our friend Maria Jaramillo. Always she was welcoming; with the warmest smile and the most generous heart. Looking at this youthful photo, I see the best of her children and grandchildren. Having recently lost my own mother, I readily empathize with the loss for the family of Jaramillo Martin. Grace and Peace to her and to all concerned.

Maria was always one of Robert Morrison's favorite older students. She was sweet, kind and made a lovely baby blanket for Robert's daughter. Thank God for her being in our lives.
