Goodbye, Conrad

On Monday, 12 April, Lenin's father, Conrad Del Castillo passed away. The funeral was today. The family did a great job planning a funeral and reception in just two days. This is Conrad with his wife, Rita, and youngest daughter, Holly. I'm not sure which grandchild Conrad is holding.

Funerals are also a time to visit with long-time friends. Here are friends of Thais and Lenin from their high school days. L-R: Will, Kenji, Sheri, Kristen, and Danielle.

And Sophia showed me how she can walk by herself.

My job: pick up all the Chinese food and get it to the reception hall on time. There were 14 large containers which made my car most aromatic for the rest of the day - yum!
