    I met tía Pollín more than 30 years ago. From the first time I met her I was delighted by her cheerfullness. She was contagiously positive and smiley. I didn’t see her for a long time and then a few years ago we met again in rather sad circumstances. She was the same warm, optimistic, jovial lady, always walking upright in life. We spoke over the phone last April and she was interested in getting updates of each one of the family members and of course in the conversation she dropped some of her magic.
    I have to mention that she was a good daughter to her mother Gabrielita and a super sister to her brother José at all times.
    My deepest condolences to all her family but a special thought goes to Paulina and Claudia. Tía Pollín will live forever not only in your hearts but also in the hearts of every person she touched with her charm, character and humour throughout her existence. A kiss to the sky too in the name of my mom, Carmen, who would have written so many more cool things here if she could. Besos para tía Pollín!
