Concepción Solorio

For several years our family has enjoyed the joyous rigors of preparing tamales specifically on this day, October 27. This day is a day of remembrance. It was on this day 101 years ago, that a very special woman in our family's Mexican heritage was born. Most knew her as Concepción Solorio; however, to our family she was our dear Grandma Connie (my mother's paternal grandmother). As a Christian woman, Grandma Connie's legacy of faithfulness in many areas continues to inspire us to this day.

"Cleave to the Lord, mija (my daughter)" ~ One of Grandma Connie's earnest exhortations
