Little Jo as my Dad affectionally called her since they grew up in the same neighborhood had a lifetime friendship. I loved hugging her every time I’d see her. She always had a smile on her face! May she Rest In Peace and know she was loved by the Vasquez family❤

My deepest sympathies to the Perez family, and their extended family and friends, on the passing of Mrs. Perez. She was such a presence and blessing to All Saints Church! Serving 47 years as a CCD teacher and Director; that’s dedication! She was my CCD teacher and my children’s. I bet there were even a few families that had 3 generations under her teaching.
