The Ramírez Navarro family couldn’t fail to pay homage to their beloved protector, especially in these most trying of times.
“We come every year to give thanks to
la virgencita, and ask for her help,” said Brenda Ramírez Navarro, 23, who lugged an almost life-size statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe. “We had hoped to see her again this year. But unfortunately, we couldn’t.”
