Yesterday we attended the funeral service for the Ortega family whose lives were tragically taken by the shooting in Covina on Christmas Eve. Terry (Reza) Ortega and her husband Jim were two of the nine people who died that evening. They are first cousins of my father-in-law so we were there to show our respects for the family. It was a beautiful service and it was truly amazing to hear the stories of what a wonderful family they are and to see the outpouring of support from family, friends, and the community.
Cardinal Mahony presided over the mass along with priests from local churches that were also connected with the family. It was a beautiful service that concluded at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Covina. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who passed and their families.
