My most sincere condolences to the Moreno Family.

Doña Socorro, although I hadn't seen you in a few years, I thought of you often. It was a pleasure to know you and your husband. I remember seeing you at the parties that my family had. You were one true classy lady and I always enjoyed talking to you. You always told it like it was. Although we weren't related, I felt you were because of Veronica being married to John. I will always hold the fondest memories of you. You are now reunited with your husband and children. Please say hi to Veronica and Lupe for me.

Que Dios la tenga en su Santa Gloria. Descanse en Paz!
