In Loving Memory



Sonia Guzman & Joel Rodriguez


Today would have been Sonia's 35th birthday. Willie and a bunch of family and friends flew to Cabo yesterday to spend some time together and scatter her ashes. She passed away on March 17 this year and about 2 months later Willie's cousin Joel was killed in a motorcycle accident by a young driver who was texting. Needless to say it's been a hard year but this weekend Willie and his family are hopefully going to be able to share beautiful stories and laughter together as they scatter both Sonia and Joel's ashes and remember what joyful people they were. They are deeply missed and thought of often.


Sawyer wore this shirt today in honor of his Tia Sonia. She gave it to him (it has a bean on it and it says "Frijolito," and she used to get so excited when she saw him wearing it. When he sees her picture he still remembers her--our goal is for him to never forget her and to share what a lovely person she was with his little brother.
