At Tim's Festive Memorial

Lupe - your Hawaiian dress could not have come at a more perfect time; the night before going to Tim Rose's memorial at the Coal Shed. They asked everyone to dress in Hawaiian shirts to celebrate his life and art. Coco LOVED the mobiles. http://www.mobilesculpture.com/

With Lola Honored By Her Filipino Women's Auxiliary!

Coco attended her first official Filipino function. Esperanza Fortes has belonged to this Filipino organization since 1966 (the year after Heather was born!) Lola (Grandmother in Tagalog) was honored by this organization as a 'Trailblazer' honoring her at age 90. She gave a touching speech remembering John's father, Coco's Lolo, Bobby (Bibiano) Fortes, and she introduced all of us including her grand-daughter Coco. Lola was also serenaded by the Filipino Wayne Newton! Danka Shayn!

Ya' think Coco looks like a Fortes?
