I want to send my sincere condolences to the Quiroz Family. I knew Maria very well as i was growing up in San Benito. My grandparents were Ignacio and Beatriz Govea, Leonor was my Mother, we lived right across the street from her. I am pretty sure some of you will remember me or my grandparents or mother. I feel blessed knowing Maria, she always had a smile on her face. I remember when she took care of her parents too, they were really nice people and her husband Urbano well he was a kind man. Her sister that lived in the next block was a nice lady too, when she passed by i always told her hi and she smiled and said hi back to me. I know she will never be forgotten but will live in each of your hearts forever. May God Bless All Of You.
Your friend,
Velma Govea
