Summers on the farm

Dear Family,

My fondest memories are going to grandma and grandpa's farm in the Summer and at Easter.  We would drive from Albuquerque and be so excited to see Kathy and Anne when we arrived.  I admired Kathy so much.  She was just a three years older than me but she was so much more of a grown up.  She had real chores and she could drive!  It seemed impossible that a 12 year-old could drive and that I could actually ride with her when she did.  What did I know--being a city kid and all.  

I'm so sorry that I can't be there for the funeral.  I miss coming to La Jara and I wish I could be there to visit the cemetary and to go to mass in La Jara with the family.  I would have made the trip, but my daughter Pilar recently had an accident at school and I'm home taking care of her.  She suffered a brain injury, but is expected to recover.  Right now she needs me at home with her.  I'll pray for Kathy and all of you.

Love, 

Anthony Monfiletto
