I am so sorry for your loss. Adela was like my second mom growing up and I have such fond memories of her. She always made me laugh and I always enjoyed going to her home for the good company and all the wonderful food she prepared. She was deeply loved by my family and will be missed but always remembered. I know my mom and dad are having fun with her now!
