As a mother of six children, Leticia's love and care knew no bounds. She instilled in them values of kindness, compassion, and hard work. Nobody that ever visited her home left on an empty stomach. Her laughter could be heard from anywhere and it was just as unique as she was, her humor was something you could always count on being in her presence.
