Every one on Active Rain knows I like to post about a lot of diverse subjects.

I like to post about as many things I think the Active Rain membership would like to see.

But today I am writing this post with a heavy heart.

Today at 10:30 A.M. I will be at the interment of my Mother in law.

Her name was Alberta Duarte. She passed away at 5:00 P.M. Saturday. She was at home with all of her family around her. She was born in May of 1922. And was a life long resident of Eddy county New Mexico.

She had a really good and a very hard life. Working the fields as a young mother of five children. Her husband of 50 years passed just before I met My wife and we quickly become good friends. After nearly thirty years of friendship, I have found there are still people out there who really care about making others happy. She was a person who would do any thing she could to help you out. Even if it was the smallest thing.
