Sad and Happy New about a Long-Time CGE-Mexico Host Family

It is with a heavy heart  that I share with you the news that Laura Vargas, the daughter of former host mother Doña Laura Vargas; sister of host mom, former internship supervisor, and massage therapist Cristi Vargas; and aunt of Latin Dance teacher Karla Vargas; died of a massive heart attack this morning.

Since the Vargas family has been involved with CGE-Mexico for over 20 years, many of you will remember them as friends, guest speakers, massage therapists, and instructors. Therefore, please join me in expressing our grief at the family's sudden and horrible loss. 

Today I will co-officiate with Padre Angel Sanchez for the funeral service at 12:30 p..m.

If you want to contact Cristi and/or Doña Laura with your condolences, Cristi's email is lunitazapatista@hotmail.com Their home phone number is 01-52-777-316-7646. I know that they would love to hear from you,

On a much happier note, Karla gave birth to a beautiful baby girl about 10 days ago.  It as also a traumatic situation, as it was a very complicated birth, and the girl wasn't breathing when she was born. However, they consider her their miracle baby because she recovered and does not seem to have any brain damage or other problems. After spending a week in the hospital, both Karla and Yaella are home and happy. 

Please pass this message on to anyone else you know who knows and cares about the Vargas family.

Thanks, and best wishes,

Ann
