Jerry, Crucita and family, I was saddened to hear of the death of your Mom, Mercedes, recently. I know how devoted you were to her for your entire life. While my personal memories of her were limited, I know Joseph knew her better. I also know the rich mix of grief and joy that losing our parents involves. Given the life she lived, it is clear that your Mom is now receiving her heavenly reward. Please know you and your family are in my heart and prayers as you make this journey.
