Frances,

I heard about Lydia and it brought tears to my eyes I didn't want to believe it was her until I saw her picture in the paper, she is beautiful.

Your daughter has always been so kind and sweet to me. I will always remember her doing things in Juan Soliz' office to stay busy while you were working.



May God shine petetual light upon her and bring you peace.
