We are thankful to have had the life of our mom Dolores Virginia Longoria Salinas to light our way and guide our path in life. Her life serves as a great example for living a virtuous and dedicated life of service in her work and her roles as Mother, and Grandmother in our world. I am the oldest of her living children and was fortunate to have her live with me for the last 15 years. We are thankful that she passed gracefully in her sleep and in the arms of God. We will miss her greatly but we live by her example always. Rest In Peace Mom. We love you!
