Dear All,
I was so sorry to hear about Mary’s passing. She was a wonder of a woman with such a big heart. She will always be in my heart and I give thanks for all she gave. My thoughts are with all of you as I know her presence will be greatly missed. Losing a mother, friend and sister runs deep. My mother Nancy Dalbo adored her. I send my hugs to all my cousins and hope you are all well.
Perhaps our paths will cross in the future. I am in Albuquerque if you ever come this way. My address is:
1336 Valle Ln NW Albuquerque, NM 87107 1-505-466-4004 All love Adele Maria Dalbo now Eyahnna DalBo
