Day 874 of 1000

Lorena called me early this morning to tell me her paternal grandmother, Rosenda, had died in the night.  She was in her mid-nineties and had a very interesting life.  When she was a child, she would have known many people who fought in the Mexican revolution.  One of her children, Irma, was born in the United States.  She did not have an easy life, but had a quiet disposition and was very easy to be around.  In Mexico, people are buried the day after they die, so Lorena will not have time to get there in time for the funeral, but we will be in close contact with the family.

Lorena has one living grandparent, her maternal grandfather, Jose, who lives in Allende, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.  He is also in his mid-nineties.
