HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIEGO!
They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel, For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

Life is precious, fragile, and way too short. If there’s something you want to say or do, don’t wait till tomorrow. My son Gil called me from Phoenix terrified! He had just been through a severe sandstorm with his brother and he thought it was the end of the world. The date was 06-0606. A month later his world ended as he knew it. Our Angel waits for us, we Love you and miss you Mi Hito.

JOSEPHINE IPIOTIS Josephine Apodaca Ipiotis, born on September 10, 1926, died Sunday at her home on July 14, leaving Santa Fe without her smile for the first time in 86 years. Born within days of the first public burning of Zozobra in 1926, Jo was the exact opposite of Old Man Gloom. Always eager to go anywhere as soon as she put on her denim and concha belt, she was one of those rare people who enjoyed simple things from birds in the backyard to Fiestas to fantasies about good-looking jet pilots painting contrails in the blue skies above the bowling alleys that provided her with decades of fun. She was a wonderful, nurturing, teaching mother of four, grandmother of seven and great-grandmother of three, who cooked perfect dishes from lamb stew to paella. Her love of candy was surpassed only by her love for pinon nuts, which was surpassed only by her love for family and friends. She never had a cross word to say to or about anybody. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bernardo and Lorcentia Apodaca; husband, Ted Ipiotis; son, James Spiro Ipiotis; and daughter, Margaret Ann Armijo, and son in law Santiago A. Morales. She is survived by daughters: Jackie Morales, Joanna Ipiotis Romero (husband Ron), Dianna I. Jones (husband Del); grandchildren: Santiago, Chris, Sam, Charlotte, Stephen, Ciera and Douglas; great grandchildren: Gaige, Santiago and Nathaniel; and beloved companion/caregiver, Hortencia Juarez (husband Juan). A rosary will be at 7 pm, Thursday at Bernardinelli. Funeral services at 10 am on Friday at Santuario de Guadalupe. In lieu of flowers please make donation to St. Judes Cancer.
