TO:The family of Mrs. K....Your Mom and Dad, have known me since I was a little girl, to a grown woman. Your Mom, gave out thee best hugs, with such warmth, and love. Their was not a time, when you didn't know, how much she loved you, as a friend or a relative. Your Parents were very good friends of mine(Eliseo Alvarado-R.I.P.). The warmth of a reception I recieved from Mrs. K, was that of a Mother. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS HER FAMILY WITH GREAT MEMORIES, AND LOVE FROM HER, FROM THE LEGACY SHE LEFT BEHIND. SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO HAVE PATIENCE, LOVE, AND UNDERSTANDING OF PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT FORTUNATE ENOUGH, TO UNDERSTAND THAT, OR TAUGHT. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE. TAKE CARE. LUCY ALVARADO, CHICAGO ILLINOIS.

Our sympathies on the passing of your mom- your mom & dad are included in some of my favorite memories of the old neighborhood! Like so many others, your mom was the organist for our wedding, and I am so thankful that we stayed in touch by cards after she moved. Our prayers are with you, and I hope you know how fondly so many of us remember your parents!
