Thank you to all who wrote condolenses and wrote of a special memory of my mom. It helps in the grieving to read your words. Yes, Mama Rufina was so very sweet, special and loved by many of us. She left me with so many wonderful memories especially of times in Arroyo Seco, NM where she was born. I want to personally thank you all for being a part of her life...by that you were also a part of mine.
