"I’m a firm believer that when we lose someone close to us, like a mother or grandmother they continue to live on through us and give us unbelievable strength. They’re so connected to us that they are a part of us. I know how much Mama Rodrieguez meant to her family and I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Sending an abundance of love."
