Victoria, my condolences in the loss of your mother. Don't know if you remember me we chatted at Zia Credit Union you were with your long wood cane and I didnt have my cane and was limping from my bad knee. I knew your mom from many years ago and my daughter Patricia Martinez was a good friend of Brenda Molina when she was alive. Brenda was good to her. May our Dear Lord send you peace and comfort and hold you in his arms with good health. Did you go for your back brace? I hope and pray for you that you get better Victoria.

Brenda and Family of Orlin, my condolences in the loss of your aunt, a mother, and grandmother. I got to know Orlin from many years past when she worked at the Pharmacy. She was a very nice person. May her soul rest in peace with her love ones who have gone beyond. May our Dear Lord give you all peace and consolation during your loss. Brenda, you know how hard it has been since my Patricia left too soon and you and I both know who was involved, someone who had no heart and will eventually have to face God some day. You know Brenda all those years you were her friend since she was young. She always thought of you. I still have a rememberance of you, the lilac bushes you gave my daughter which was several and only one survived, but still alived from many years ago. Thank you Brenda for being a good friend to her.

Victoria, Leo and all of Orlin's family, I want to offer my deepest condolences on your loss. Orlin and I worked together at La Farmacia for over a year and we had a great working relationship. I enjoyed her company and she was a warm and enjoyable friend. Everyone loved Orlin and we made lots of friendships when we worked there. We went through some good times and a not so good time but we survived the situation. The last time we spoke, Orlin was not feeling well so we didn't speak for long. May god's blessings be among all your family and may Orlin rest in peace.
