Rolando BerrelezMy sincerest condolences to Rick and the entire Werwie family for the loss of your mom/grandmother/sister. She was a beautiful person. From the day we first met, she always treated me with love, kindness, acceptance and respect. Indeed, she treated me like a member of her family. I am so grateful that we were able to maintain our friendship throughout these many years. I am truly going to miss her. May God grant her eternal rest and may perpetual light shine upon her.
