Dear Dr. Alfred Cisneros & Family,
Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved Mother. She must have been one very special woman to have raised such successful & caring children, from such humble beginnings. Please know that you & your family are in our thoughts and prayers (As well as on our church prayerlist).Your sister Sandra is one of our children's favorite authors. She is such a gifted writer! Again our deepest sympathy to you and your entire family. May God watch over you & care for you during such a tremendous loss.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Sandra
Your Woman Hollering Creek was a great source of comfort, laughter and validation for my mother when she was going through a difficult time. I felt many times when reading your work that I was reading autobiographical events- you have mastered the art of combining sorrow and joy to produce beautiful literature that our community was missing for so long. Your mother must have been very proud of you. I know she must have been an inspiration for a lot of your work. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I know that you will find peace in many cherished memories and that even in death your mother will continue to inspire you and have a positive impact on your life. May God bless you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Henry and Family,

I was so very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all; may your memories bring you comfort.

with my deepest sympathy

Sincerely,
Maria

I also do not know you but wanted to offer you my sympathy and prayers. I lived on Mango Street when I was growing up and my daughter remembered me telling her that at one time, so she sent me your book which I very much enjoyed.

Dear Sandra and Family,
Please accept my sympathy on the passing of your mother. (I was Sandra's teacher many years ago at Josephinum High School.)

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Ms Cisneros (Sandra), you do not know me but your writings have meant so much to me and when I read that your mother passed on to the other side, I wanted to give you my sympathy. I imagine that you gave your mother great joy, as did your siblings, by accomplishing so much and by giving to the community here in San Anto. Know that your mama is at peace and has began her journey.
Be Well.
