Francisco, Maria, and family: I have been thinking back on some of the moments that Karen and I have shared over the past twenty some years. Family and faith were always top priorities with both of us. We have shared births and deaths, joyous laughter, sad tears, our love of cooking for our community, many holiday meals and prayers together. I am a better person for having known Karen. I know she is now at peace in heaven and will be our angel forever. Love and peace and comfort to all of you, Sue
