Just found out about Elviria's passing. Not sure I'll be able to make it to the services, but I will try to make the rosary tonight. Just wanted to send you my condolences, and let you know that you and Elviria will be in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless both of you. May you find comfort in all the memories of your lives together, and may she rest in peace. Chris Fresquez

My condolences to the family. My family and I were so sad to hear of Tia Vigas passing. She was a special woman, and I had the privilege of spending lots of precious time with her when she was under the care of Anthony Garcia. What an amazing woman of great faith! She will be missed! Tia Viga, may you find all the peace you deserve in Heaven, we love you!!
