Josie Mendez lit a candle

“In loving memory of Ely Catolos, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Auntie Ely was the sweetest person, so honest, entrepreneurial, and so generous. Whenever I was in town I would visit her in her store, she would always give me so much stuff and not have me pay for any of it. Her kindness and gentle spirit will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace.”
