My deepest condolences to the family. I met Ms Zentgraf in 1980 when I was in high school and working part time at the U.S. Customs office. Wonderful , beautiful lady, learned a lot from her. May she rest in peace.

It is with great sadness that I write this message to the Riley,Zentgraph and Guerra family. Especially Emma who was always by her beloved sister's side. Tata and I were very fortunate to have met Luisa and spend some memorable moments with her and her family.
May God be by her side and pray that Emma gets the strength she needs to face her loss.
Jaime and Tata.
