HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOÑA MARIA !

Maria Alvarez Hatch The Alvarez Family
Some of the Hatch family who attended.
On Friday it was Doña Maria´s 80th Birthday! (She´s my step mother-in-law!) I tell you, this woman is a sweet heart! She married my father-in-law a few years after my mother-in-law died from cancer! She was so devoted to him & took such good care of him ! What a blessing she was in his life! I just love her ! Her daughter Nancy fixed a lot of yummy food... (she is a VERY good cook,) and invited family and friends over to celebrate! It was a fun evening! Gil put the frosting on the cake when he set off a few fire crackers for our entertainment before we all went home! Doña Maria has really been suffering with pain in her hip! The doctor says she has a lot of degeneration! I know it is hard for her to smile and be cheerful but she does her best! I enjoy stoping by her house once in a while on Tuesday morning after I work in the temple!
