Dear Cousins,
My sisters and I were so sorry to learn of the passing of your mom. I can remember going to her home as a child and sharing in the family Thanksgiving gathering. It was the first time I had arroz con gandules instead of mashed potatoes and boy were they delicious! Your mom and your dad were always so warm and welcoming to all of us. And I know my dad, Antonio, was especially close to his cousins in New Hyde Park.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We are all headed on the same journey but it is still so hard when someone goes before us.
May God pour His blessings upon cousin Ruth and surround her with His loving peace.
