Although Lourdes was not my blood relative, I knew her since I was born...She was my older cousin, she was my playmate when we were little and my parents and I visited her home to share time together and play and enjoy the company of people who always made us feel happy and welcome. I inherited clothes and toys from her (I was a tad younger) and it was always a treat to spend time with her. As an adult I know she dedicated her love and energy to many important causes. May God bless her and keep her.
