Tom Masters says
My deepest sympathies and condolences to the many family members who are dealing with the loss of this great family matriarch. From the stories I’ve heard, she suffered through so much to bring her family to America so they could have an opportunity for success and to live the American dream. For all she did in life, she will still be there to act as our guardian in death, along with all of the other family ancestors who preceded her. So let us not be sad, but celebrate her life and be happy in the knowledge that she no longer suffers and is finally at rest.
