|
|
Mother's Club, the Guadalupanas, the Franciscanas, and the |
|
|
Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez groups; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Alicia has always brought joy to those around her |
|
|

|
|
her love of tradition, which she embodied as a member of the |
|
|
Folclórico Dance Group at the Jim Hogg County Elderly Nutrition |
|
|
Center; her kindness and sense of humor have made her a widely |
|
|
beloved figure among her loved ones and in the Hebbronville |
|
|
community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On March 29, 2025, family and friends will gather |
|
|
to celebrate this extraordinary woman and the century of wisdom, |
|
|
laughter, and love she has shared with her many loved ones; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
