Easter Sunday for us was very sad this year. One of our favorite people, Art Ortiz, died after heart bypass surgery. Words just can't tell you how much this man meant to us. He and his family ARE part of our family even though it is through friendship that we are related. We would like to send our prayers and thoughts to his daughter, "Age" (Adriana) and son, "Turtle" (Arturo). They are like our kids, too. He left us all behind and is now doing his Chicken Dance in heaven. We ususally spent Easter with them, this time Wendell was with him when he went to meet the reason for Easter. Please tell everyone you love that they are important to you anytime you get the chance. Art's smile and laughter will not be forgotten. We are the ones that must try to smile and laugh without him now.
