Arthur, Louis & Sylvia: So sad to hear about your mom who was like one to me for so many years. I have so many memories and will never forget her and your dad. When I close my eyes I can still taste her tamales. They were never and will never be forgotten. Love you guys.

My sincerest condolences to Mrs Deleon's family and friends. She and her husband were next door neighbors to my family for many years. She was always pleasant to my family. I was there when her husband died but I can't be there this time and I wanted her family and friends to know I learned of her passing and my heart goes out to them.
