You are in my thoughts and prayers. Barbara Garcia Dear Ruben and Family, I was saddened to hear about your Mother's death. It's odd, just recently I was thinking about your sister, Olga, remembering her untimely passing and that Loretta and I had attended her funeral so many years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your lovely family at this difficult time. May the wonderful memories you've made over the years bring you much comfort now and in the future. God Bless, Barbara Garcia
