On behalf of the residents and staff of The Village at Incarnate Word I want to extend our heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. Gonzalez' family. It was our privilege to have her in our community for the two months she was here. She lived a long and a good life, serving others and God. May God grant you peace in your loss and comfort you in the days ahead.

So sorry for your loss. Your Mother and my Mother Estella Fragoso were good friends in the American Legion Aux. 420. I also knew your mother, she was a very beautiful person. God Bless you Julian, and your family.
