Dear Padilla Cousins’
I share your sarrow. You are in our hearts and our prayers’.
My Tia was a fun person, she spoke the truth. I loved the way she
humored My Tio Frank. She knew how Mom and Tio Frank were so
close and was a good sport about it. I loved her for all that she was. I am
sure Tio Frank was there to greet her with open arms. God bless you all and
try to enbrace Gods will. It is easier said. I know!
Much love,
Dan and Lucille Orona
