To My Beloved Tios:



My children and I want to give you our condolences, I am Cynthia's oldest daughter, Christina. I know my Tio Corando because he is my grandfather's brother, I remember my aunt from when I attended high school, but I know how dear and precious she was to my mom and to the rest of my family. She will truely be missed by everyone who loved her very much. Even though my children do not know my tios, they send all of their love. We love you and you will always be in our hearts and prayers. It's hard being far away and not being able to be with your family in this time of grief. I wish we could all be there with you to give you more comfort and support.
