We want to offer our condolences to the family of Ofelia Bernal Estrada and Leopoldo Estrada Jr., who both passed away in December. Ofelia and Leo were wonderful residents and great-great grandparents who were also very caring and generous people. So many members of their family have followed their lead and given back to this community, including their son, City Councilor Leo Estrada III. Services are being handled through West Funeral Home.
Hopefully, everyone did OK with the cold front which swept through Carlsbad earlier this week. Eddy County received a small amount of snowfall Wednesday morning. Thanks again to the Community of Hope Center (across the street from La Tienda), for opening Dec. 30 and 31 and Jan. 1 for those in need of a shelter and warm meal. Robert and Patricia Jacquez, with help from the United Way, have really made a difference in the lives of others. Thanks also to Carlsbad Transitional Housing and other groups who also help provide shelter when it is needed.
