Pilar will remain in my heart. She was a most considerate and loving colleague. The last I saw her was when she was walking with Arnold at Elizabeth Park. Everyone who knew her will remember her with great affection. She had the sweetest smile in the world. Arnold and her were so devoted to each other.
My condolences to her nephews!
