To the family of Mrs. Torres, I had the privilege of working with Mrs. Torres for many years at Cigarroa High School. She was a very special lady who always greeted you with a warm and welcoming smile. I remember fondly the days in which she would make her delicious breakfast tacos and other delicacies to raise funds for the Special Education department. She always cared for and loved working with the countless special needs students who crossed her path. It takes a very special person to do that, and that is exactly what she was; A VERY SPECIAL PERSON. My sincerest condolences to her family, and may the Lord grant you peace and comfort knowing that she is in Heaven. Sincerely, Ana Maria Escamilla Retired, Special Ed Counselor, CHS
