    Soo sorry about your mom Jose. Its never easy losing a parent. It leaves a feeling of emptiness that never quite goes away. Just remember all the good times and all the memories and know that she is still with you maybe not in body but in soul.

    I hope I always remember the way your mother called you from the kitchen at camp. “Jose! Roberto!” I can hear her voice and it brings back happy memories of summer. It seemed there was no defying her. She was a force and the world is better for her touch on it. Much love to you two, Yvonne, Yoshiko, and Santi and to all who feel her loss so keenly.
