Fina you will be dearly missed. You and your family always made my trips to Hidalgo very memorable. I enjoyed my sleepovers. The most memorable was when we’d gather around the organ and you’d play and sing to Judy, Laura and me. The song I’ve always remembered is “Ev’ry Day of My Life”. The lyric, “Every day of my life I’ll be in love with you...” You’d look at us as you said these words. I definitely felt loved.
To Pete, Judy, Laura, and the Fonseca and Alcala families, my sincere condolences on the loss of such an amazing person. I pray that God hold you in His loving arms as you go through this difficult time.

Eternal rest grant unto Fina, and let the perpetual light shine upon Fina. May she Rest In Peace.
