Robert and my other dear primas. I offer condolences to the Mendoza family from my mom Irma, myself, and my twin sister Margot. We are familia from the Cordova side. My mom knew your mom Stella from their childhood days. She also knew your dad Alex and remembers him as a kind man with a beautiful soul. May fond memories sustain you during this time. May perpetual light shine upon both your dad and your mom. God bless.
