As friends and neighbors of Jose Duran, we send him and your family our deepest sympathy of the passing of his mom and your loved one. May you find comfort knowing that she is in heaven, having been face to face with her Lord and those that have gone on before. We will be re-united when we embark upon our journey home someday.
