After my father passing two months ago, my mom's neighbors Freddy Lopez and Rachel Giles helped her so much. They are part of our family forever.  When my mom would wake up in the middle night, Rachel would come out and talk to her, would reminisce and help her through the nigh. We want the two of them to know we really appreciate all their love and support for our family during these difficult times. We love you and thank you.
