I was not fortunate enough to know Pata Gurr, but got to “know†her over the years through her sister Fuarosa (Rosa) Rodriguez who was a co-worker of mine (and still a dear friend) over the years until she retired in July 2015. I learned about how wonderful a person Pata was and how close she was to Rosa. I almost felt as though I knew Pata myself. I know that with the passing of Pata, especially so close in time to the passing of their father, is tough in Rosa and her siblings/other family members/friends. My heart aches for you all and I wish you all the best as you go through this very difficult time, especially with the holidays approaching. Take care.
