Our deepest condolences go out to the entire family. I will always remember your mom and mine (the late Julieta) breaking heads over their crocheting and knitting. The hours they spent with each other sharing new stitches and ideas is still embedded deeply in my memory. May she rest in eternal peace. Our prayers are with you all. Julie Melo and family
