longtime member of the Guadalupanas ministry; and | ||
WHEREAS, A woman of great wisdom, warmth, and generosity, | ||
Mrs. Palacios guided her family by loving spiritual example; she | ||
was a cherished member of the community, and she will long be | ||
remembered with great respect and admiration by all who were | ||
