A special thanks to Larry Stott for his beautiful poem, Fr. Jack at Holy Family Church for the beautiful mass, and French Mortuary for always being there when we needed them. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH. Sonny, Sally, Dolores, Eloy, Mary, Billy, Leonard, Barbara (Bebsi), Anna and Abelino
