Dear Lupe Valdez and Family. My name is Adela. My mother was Hortencia Sanchez married to Pete Martinez. Her father was Medardo Sanchez and her mother was Margarita Valdez. My mother was cousins to My Tio Antonio and my Tia Vicentitas children. Thus making Maria, Dometilia, Antonio, Adriano and Arturo my cousins also. Please accept my deepest sympathy and condolences on the death of my cousin Antonio, your husband. I remember his parents when I was a little girl in New Mexico. I keep in touch with Maria still. Again I am sorry to learn of his passing. My condolences also to Maria, Domi, Adriano & Arturo and all the entire family.

Primo Manuel,
Hija de Domitila. Para que sepa, mi mamá está bien. Creo que se confundió con mamá de mi tío, Vicentira. De qualquiera manera, QEPD, mi tío consiste padres, hijo, y dos nietos.

Denise; please forgive me for thinking that my comadre Domitila had passed.
It was an honest mistake. For some reason I thought that last summer at the reunion reunion some mentioned that she had passed. Please call me so I can apologize. My pH # 801-589-6713
