Not sure what to say?

Dear Rico, I am very sorry to know about my Aunt Alicia past away. I am Luis, Carmelita Velasco´s son and I hope you could have a chance to send me an email so we can talk about our beloved mothers

we will miss you grandma

My mother, Margaret Wilhelm, was another 1930 graduate of St. Mary's Academy, who lived a full 99-plus years HER way. I wonder if she and Alicia conspired to leave their mark on the world!

A real inspiration. Talented, artistic, green thumb, poetic, musical ear, determined. She lived life HER way.

Great Aunt Alicia was an amazing woman! Although I only saw her a couple of times when I was a child, I remember her being sweet and enthusiastic. So glad that, as an adult, I got to see her again in 2007 when she came to my dad's memorial gathering. Still vibrant and alert, even then at age 93, she was a joy to talk with. She'll always be a fond memory in my heart.

So sorry to hear of Aunt Alicia's passing. I was very fond of her and sorry that I didn't get to know her better until late in my life.
