Jairo Vargas Obituary

Karen, I am so sorry for the loss you and Inez feel. The hurt is deep and I'm so glad you have family and friends to help you at this time. In time, your memories of your time together will help. But for now, allow yourself to grieve however you feel you need too.
With Love... Barb Schnoor
