    " Susie: My sincerest sympathy on the passing of your beloved and precious daughter and my Tia Mechuda,as we called her. I was reading the newspaper this morning from Tucson and ran across this article. I informed my mom and dad, your Tia Olivia and Tio Borrego, whom had no idea your mom had passed away or your precious daughter. We also lost our brother Sammy in March of 2003 in a car accident. Hope everyone else is doing well. Please keep in touch. We love you. God bless you and the rest of the family. "
