Mrs. Cortez, you are now a beautiful angel 😇 in heaven. Couldn’t be any other way. You helped me & many other students at Cigarroa Middle & so did Reuben, when he would see me on the hall, trying to get from one class to another. For that I will always be grateful &, I will always have you in my heart ♥️ & now, in my prayers. Rest In peace.” 🙏🏻 Condolences to the family.
