My father Stanley Cruz Lopez and his beautiful little sister Ofelia, my godmother. Ofelia was the youngest and when I was little she was so glamorous to me. I loved standing next to her and smelling her perfume, she always laughed and smiled. Here is my dad, a few years before he passed. He has reunited with his sisters and brothers. He was happy when  he was with them, it gave him a sense of belonging that he had not felt for many years.
