Senator Pena,
You and your family have my deepest sympathies on the loss of your lovely wife Aurora. Whenever I saw her, she was always smiling just like in the photo. My regards also to Henry. I believe he and I attended Carl Hayden High School about the same time and he was also my insurance agent.
May God bless and comfort your entire family today and always.
