Lucita and Edo — A Love Written by God

Told in Lucita’s own words

For Mom,

You wrote this story with your own hands and your own heart.
I only gave it pictures.
Every word you are about to read is yours.

Thank you, Mom.

For loving Dad the way you did,
and for writing it all down so we would never forget.

With all my love — JC
