Ella era mi Tia en vida. One of the most honest persons I met in my life. She raised a great family and taught them well. How to be gentlemen and her dughters gentle ladies. As mi Tia she taught me a couple of things about being honest. I loved her very much and my primos (sons and daughters)were/are some of the finest (jente fina)in Northern new mexico just like she raised them. Her husband Meliton was my mothers brother...again jente fina. I hope my primos know how proud I am of them and how dearly I loved mi Tia Elena. It was a pleasure to have known this woman and if the promise is true (and it is)I will see her agin someday...
