My deepest condolences to Family Alvarado. I loved her too. So many memories from when she was only about 5 or 6 yrs. old bring comfort when I think of her. Sweet, wise and feisty little one. She made me laugh many many times. She had a most loving soul, gave great advice. It was an honor to have met her. Playing loteria and enjoying family gatherings was soo fun. I am sooo sorry for your loss. Mayra was a special person full of bright ideas and a great sense of humor. Hugs and kisses wherever she is chillin with the angels in heaven.....

Our most heartfelt condolences to the Alvarado family from the Dorado family...I still remember the day Mayra came home and how excited her brothers were to have a little sister. She will be remembered forever with fondness by "the neighbors". Tere and Felipe we are praying for you to find peace in your hearts and a special note for Henry...you will always be family. Rest in peace Miss Mayra.
