Mr. and Mrs. Martinez! My thought and prayers go out to you and her husband and children. Your daughter was a sweet person. I attended Corpus Christi with her. She was way younger then me. It is such a small world. My son and her son attend the same childcare and played cars together. I just can't express my sorrow. May God keep you in his prayer.

Alma, please receive my heartfelt condolences. With three lovely blessings to count she has left you with a 'trinity' of grandchildren to cherish in her absence. She may have been called to do more important work. My prayers are with you and with your family.
