Dora Elva (I always said her middle name) was like a mom to me. In my high school years she would make me and Luis ( my Besty :), lunch every day. Words cannot convey what a true child of God she was. This scar, like the one from my parents passing, will be with me till my end. Not to say scars are bad, they tell stories. I have a lump in my throat that will go away one day but the memories of what a truly great person she was will never die. Love Mike.
I remember David and Dora in their early marriage. We lived in Hidalgo, and David and Dora were our closest cousins from our families in Laredo. They were so loving and endearing to us and so much in love back then. I guess it was in the late 50's. There was always so much laughter when they came. Of course, going to the pharmacy was exciting. And you could hear David talking animatedly all over the store. Dora was more reserved, but certainly so loved as well. You all were blessed to have grown up with those parents.
Sincere condolences to the family. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God provide the necessary peace and comfort to your family and friends during this difficult time. Please remember these words of encouragement from the Bible: “ Jesus plainly told her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” —John 11:20-25.
