Rosemary and Eddie, my condolences to you and your family. I have nothing but fond memories growing up next door to your family. Your parents were always so kind to me, brother and sister. Your mother was my mom's Avon rep and we were always excited to see what products she had. And your father on his early morning walks. Always generous with pieces of candy for me and Vero. He would always chuckle at the many dinner invites we would extend to him as little girls. They were always present at all of our life events from communions, quinceaneras, graduations and also, my wedding. When I think back on my old neighborhood growing up, your parents are always a part of those memories. They will forever remain in my heart.

Eddie & Rosemary, mi corazón y oraciones con ustedes hoy muy especialmente.
Los quiero muchísimo.

My heart goes out to you, Rosemary and Eddie. May all the wonderful memories of your father and your mother fill your hearts with joy and comfort. I know that for me, growing up across the street from you and your family will remain in my heart always. Those were wonderful childhood memories. Your family was one of great respect, dignity and of great moral values. We may have all gone our own separate ways as we got older and moved away from the old neighborhood, but my thoughts and those fond memories continue to remain in my heart and will do so forever. May God bless you and embrace you with all his love during these difficult times.

With all our love, Sylvia Mata (Ramirez) & Family
