I want to extend my deepest condolences to the Galvan family during this difficult time. Though I didn´t have the chance to get to know Grandma Mary very well, I remember her as a kind and sweet soul. I have fond memories of seeing her at Highland Park Elementary, working the ticket booths with a warm smile. She was truly a beautiful person inside and out, and her love and kindness touched everyone around her. She will be missed dearly, but her spirit and the love she shared will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. May she rest in peace. - Your Grandson Juju
