Vera, and family, Sometimes words are not enough to express the sorrow we feel when one of our loved one is gone from us, but, as Christians we "know" where our loved one is. Vera, I know you did all you could for my cousin, Goza. I so much appreciate you. Our prayers are with you and the whole family. You know that if you need anything, let me know. Love Betty & Joe Tijerina
