Joe
My name is Vincent Caldevilla. My mother (Mary) and father (Pepe), were good friends of your parents, had the store in Ybor City (El Paraiso Grocery) and were both members of Universal Lodge. I don't know if you remember me but, I remember your mother, father and you, very well. Your Mom was a very special person, who always made me feel good whenever I saw and spoke to her. I am very sorry for your loss. I know it must be difficult. Vince
