Homenajes

The best memories was at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Dinners at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Very elegant dinner tables for 30 or more family and guest. With all the trimmings and beautiful dinner plates, silverware, glasses, and linens perfectly ironed by Grandma herself. The Lujan house was full of laughter and story telling in every room just about. Family catching up on new things and remembering old times. And always very loud. Those were the best times.

To the Daughters, Sons, Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren, Great Great Grandchildren, Nieces and Nephews of Aunt Nashie - I have fond memories of Aunt Nashie beginning as a small boy from all of the time my family spent in Espanola. I will always remember the wonderful smell of her kitchen, but most of all her grace, kindness and generosity. She will leave an indelible mark on all of us. On behalf of Aylin, Alexa and Nicole we extend our sincere sympathies and best wishes to all members of her family. Michael
