"Joe and Estrela were are neighbors in Ralls for many years. Estrela was always so energetic and fun to be around. We had so much fun playing softball and just growing up. The girls were always involved in all the sports and we always had so much fun. Estrela was there for her girls and devoted to Joe. They always had so much fun playing dominoes with Mom and Dad. It will be a part of my childhood I will always remember."
