Dear Ramirez family,
We want to send our most sincere condolences to you all. Your mom worked with my mom at Sherman Elementary and they soon became really good friends. I remember those two were always joking around and laughing about something. They always seemed as if they were on vacation somewhere but they were actually at work. What joy to experience such fun at work! It is a time that I will always remember seeing them working alongside each other having a great time chatting about a staff member, books in the library, or one of the kids.
It was also wonderful to get to know all of the family and spend time together during holidays and other events that came up. Over the years life took its course and somewhere their relationship just went to the phone but still the laughs continued. Recently, we ran into Paul, Henry’s youngest, and Henrietta was outside in the car while we were chatting inside of Costco. It almost felt like we were living those good times again when we ran into each other. The smile that Paul had on his face reminded me of those laughs and good times when we were younger watching our mothers having a great time laughing about something only they laughed about. We weren’t allowed to know why they were laughing Sadly, we didn’t get to see her as Judy and I were rushing off to our next item on our agenda. I am so sorry we did not get to visit that day one last time to watch those two laugh again and have one more smile together. Please know that we are with you in spirit as you say goodbye.
All our love and friendship,
💐
Shelle, Judy and the Wong Family
