There were about 60 to 70 people. Family and friends.
Some came as far away as Cabo San Lucas: a two-hour drive.
Under the large palm leaves roof a table was put to serve as the altar for the Mass.
And plastic chairs had been brought in for the people to sit.
The priest came punctually at the agreed time of 1 pm.
And celebrated the Mass in memory of Angelito Gonzales who passed away four years ago.
Lucretia, the mother of Angelito, was sitting right in front of the priest.
Next to her daughter Norma, who had been giving up one of her kidneys to try to safe the life of Angelito.
They were crying.
Mass did not take too long.
The priest had a short sermon, some people took communion and people embraced at the end.
Then the food came.
Each person getting a plastic plate with pasta, meat in a sauce and salad.
After two hours most people were gone.
Only some family members were staying till the next day.
