I was told she passed away, just a day after my fathers birthday.  I'm sure that she tried very hard to make it until that day. As a small child I remember her living two houses down from us on Bryce, in El Monte.
In 1981 my parents bought a house and we moved to Maxson, also in El Monte but no longer two houses away.
Seldom were the times my tia Adela came to our new house, and less frequent were the times we saw her.

In 1985 my parents divorced, my father moved out of the family home.   My tia Adela, never reached out to me, my calls to her went unanswered,  if I stopped by her house she would hide behind the sheer curtain that draped the window on her kitchen the door.

My fondest memories of my tia Adela are that she was a cold, bitter, heartless, scorned woman.  Good bye, tia Adela.
