This week was hard for my family as we put my Mom's father to rest, Grandpa Chuck. He was a hard worker, very personable, and loved people. He is the reason I can make homemade refried beans so well and a "mean" tostada. As he passed, we will have to carry on our Mexican traditions. :)
Ashley, I'm so sorry about your grandfather. You and your family are in my prayers, and please give your mom a big hug from me. Love, Melissa
