I have so many fond memories of Josefina. She was such a strong lady and the glue that kept the family together. I know that I have been away from the family for a long time but I still consider the Estrada family my family. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you go through this difficult time. Please do one thing and stay close...you all need each other and that is what your Mother/Grandmother would want to see.
Love, Branda
