Mamá Nena (1933-2018)

Mamá Nena passed away in her sleep last Sunday morning. She wasn't sick.  It was unexpected. She was my grandma.

Because of her, I know how to make tamales. She would have all of her four daughters help during the entire process and any grandkid that wanted to help. After an alk day process, we would make hundreds of tamales and have plenty to take home.

Today both of our girls get involved when we make tamales during Holiday Season. It is a great tradition that I'm hoping our girls will cherish, embrace and keep up for the rest of their lives.
