We, Joep and I, met Mary Anne and Alfredo for the first time in 1990.
So we have known her and Alfredo for 30 years. Mary Anne treated us as first cousins (primos), although the family connection goes way back. Meeting her was always fun, lots of laughter but also serious discussions about politics and whatever. She was sincerely interested in our lives. Each visit with The Valencias was an enrichment of our lives. Numerous family reunions at their house, visiting Corbell's winery, walks by the lake, the seaside, in the woods, Christmas together in Florence (Italy), a stay in Yosemite NP are only some of the memories we cherish. We have made a selection from our photo collection. Mary Anne you are one in a million, miss you XX
