    I am so heartbroken 💔 to have learn this information Hermila was so special to my mother, sisters and I she was like a God mother she was there through out all our childhood and our trials. She was a friend, a great woman, a landlord to my mother and most of all she was like family. I have so many memories of her while I went to the store and she wouldn’t take my money she would tell my mother that I can have what ever I wanted, I would sit behind the counter with her and she had a cat named “Chacho” he was a tabby cat 🐈 she bout us Christmas gifts like dolls and other toys I regret not going to see her frequently in my adulthood but she will forever be in my heart ❤️💔
