Donna & Family: I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. It is so hard to say "good bye" to a family member or a friend, especially your mother. Some day you will be together again. I am praying that God will help you and your family through this hard time. Please know that you have a lot of friends, co-workers and past co-workers that love you.

Emily, you will be miss. I wish I could sit with you and laugh, like we did so many years ago. You and Don opened up your home to my dad (Rudy) when he moved to Cortez, and then to me. I will cherish the memories. Love always, Lorrie Estrada Kirbo.

Donna & Family - I'm so sorry to hear your dear Mom (Emily) has gone on. She will spend her time with the Lord & Our Blessed Mother & she will be looking down on you all with LOVE ❤️ in her heart & prayers on her lips. Remember, when things get tough, ask her to intercede your Petitions, especially when frustrations with the children crop up; ask Abuela to give you advice.😉 Praying for God's Healing Love & Graces for each of you in whatever measure EACH of you needs.
