Rosa Carrillo celebrated 80 years Feb. 18

LW BIRTHDAYS

On Feb. 18 Rosa Carrillo celebrated her 80th birthday in grand, Mexican style: South of the Border food, all kinds of drinks, a gigantic birthday cake, plus music provided by the Mariachis San Jose of Andres Hernandez.

The food was catered by Koffel taco truck, which was provided by Rosa’s daughter Priscilla and son-in-law Steve Rodriguez. Her dear friend Bob provided for her celebration, while the Rodriguez/ Lanaris grandchildren Jacob, Lucas and Wyatt played and sang a beautiful tribute to their Nana, which was loved by all.

Rosa’s most honored guests were the priests from Holy Family Church: Pastor Rev. Joseph Nguyen and emeritus Pastors Rev. Juan Caboboy and Rev. James Hartnett.“I was lucky to be blessed by these three wonderful priests,” Rosa said.

The 80 party attendees included loved ones, family, friends, LW neighbors, church community members and many more.

“It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves and being so happy, Rosa said. “I felt very special and loved, but mostly blessed at this important life milestone. We ate, we danced, we sang, and most important, we were happy for that one evening.”

Rosa thanks everyone who attended the party: “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you everyone for being there to celebrate with me; for the wonderful gifts and cards and special moments of love together. It was a night to remember.”
