She has been lifted to be in the Glory of God and with her beloved Husband Enrique, and with her Son Frank. May God bless her family and friends. I truly miss all three of them and have great memories of their life on Earth. My parents were dear friends of the Mrs and Mr Barrera. Shall the new eternity start anew.
