May the precious soul of Sixto L. Espinoza rest in peace with Our Blessed Mother sacred graces. Don Sixto and his wife Ernestina sat in a specific spot during Mass. Their St. Anne's seat was special, because they were always on time for Mass and they had a good view of the entire church. We sat behind them during Mass for the longest time and we loved their simple smiles, peaceful greetings, and kindness. Don Sixto and Queen Ernestina were classy dresser's and alway's looking sharp. Blessings to the Espinoza familia en Santa Fe and Tierra Amarilla. Abrazos, Jose & Kathy Rose Villegas
