Thanks for Day of the Dead celebration in SLO

My hearty congratulations to Mrs. Ingrid Pires and her crew from Wilshire Hospice on presenting an outstanding Day of the Dead celebration, which was presented at the Mission Plaza in San Luis Obispo on Nov. 1.

The booths were grand with their Day of the Dead displays, the Mexican food was the best and the mariachi music was the final clincher to guarantee a perfect celebration.

We so enjoyed seeing so many dressed in traditional attire and with elaborate skeletal face painting.

We thank you for this wonderful tribute to our loved ones who are no longer with us.

Anita V. Smith, San Luis Obispo
