My condolences to Don and the entire Lopez family on the loss of your Mother. Although I did not know her personally, I know from talking to her family that she was a wonderful person who, I can imagine, was a loving and ever present matriarch to a large family. From reading her obituary, it is obvious that she was a caring and thoughtful woman who helped many people in her lifetime. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Don Lopez and family;
So sorry to hear of the passing of your wonderful mother. I first met Victoria in 2005 while working in Colorado. Victoria welcomed me in to her house and eventually I would eat several meals their a week. She so reminded me of my mother in Illinois. She was a loving person and I always said she was an Angle walking among us. She is now at the right hand of God and doing his work. Our loss but Gods gain. We will say a prayer for all. John & Vickie Finley
