Nora, Angie, & Joanne, I am so sorry to read about your mom's death. She sure was a funny lady when we worked in the fields together during those hot summers.
May the Lord comfort you and your family during this time.

Lupe
Doña Lupe fue una mujer muy especial. Nos conocimos mientras trabajavamos en el campo hace como 34 años. Su gentil sonrisa y su amabilidad siempre me hacia sentir mejor. Me dio mucho gusto cuando empezo a atender GCCC, ella siempre llegava a mi oficina y me decia "oye mija, tienes unos lapizes que me des?" ella muy orgullosa de atender al colegio y tener buenos grados. She didn't care how old she was, she would come in and proudly talk about her grades. I has been a pleasure getting to know her. Lo siento mucho y que Dios vendiga a su familia.
