It is with deep sadness that we announce that our lovely receptionist, Esther Quintanilla, passed away on Sat., Sept. 12, after a lengthy battle with cancer. She was always so loving and welcoming to everyone that called or visited our offices and worked tirelessly to be sure that every need was met with calm and grace. Esther leaves behind her beloved husband, Roy Quintanilla, her mother Susie, and many siblings, children and grandchildren. May she rest in peace.

A PRAYER FOR THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE
We give them back to you, dear Lord,
Who gavest them to us.
Yet as thou didst not lose them in the giving,
So we have not lost them by their return.
For what is Thine is ours always, if we are Thine.
And life is eternal and love is immortal,
And death is only a horizon,
And a horizon is nothing more
than the limit of our sight.
