Too many to mention! And lets not forget the music which brought it all together.I have a nice colection of my favorites.In fact after a 9 year search, I located one of Sunnys old songs just this week.
In 1970 married Gilbert B Perez from Edgewood Class of'68. We lived in San Diego and Kingsvile, Tx. After returing to SanAnto, We had two beautiful daughters in 1972 and 1974.

y during our 30 year marriage. We visited pretty much the entire state of California, Colorodo, New Mexico, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphi, D.C.. Abroad, we visited, Cancun, Cozumel, Play De Carmen, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and San Juan,Puerto Rico which was our last trip before we found he was sick.He passed away from Renal Cell Cancer in Nov. 2000. I have plans to continue traveling, I was in London and Paris in 2007 and hope to travel to many other places. Currently I am retired and battling Stage IV breast cancer for the second time hoping to reach remission again so that I can do a little more traveling. And living! Meanwhile, I have my two beautiful daughters and 6 grandchildren (to whom I refer to as Jellybeans).They fill my empty days with their unending energy, the fighting and bickering, the tantrums. But at night when I lay my head to rest, all I can recall is the joy and laughter, their smiles, the hugs and kisses, the silly antics and all the unconditional love they fill me with.
My battle, therefore,is to live for them.
So ther you have it. My life in a nutshell.
