Alina:

Aunque hace mucho tiempo que no nos vemos, ayer lei en el periodico el fallecimiento de tu mama y lo siento mucho. Yo perdi a mami hace 10 anos y es un vacio que nunca se podra remplazar.
Muchos carinos

I really missed the opportunity for a one to one exchange and learn a few things about grand-uncle and the entire family. I can't explain myself why we were so near and yet so far. May the Lord keep you safe with Dad, Mom, Brother and a multitude of angels throughout the ages. May you bask in the Lord's light forevermore.

Gloria, I will very much miss your weekly visits to the salon for the 29 years that I enjoyed making you look as beautiful on the outside as you were on the inside. In Loving Memory. Miriam de Orozco
