Dear friends,

It is with great sadness I must report my tia, Maria Gonzalez Palacio, died overnight in her Atlantic Avenue home. About an hour ago, my mother phoned me to say Maria's daughter, Marta, found Maria in her bed this morning. Evidently, she had not stirred, as usually she was up by 5:00 am, having her coffee and morning smoke. As far as I know, she had not been seriously ill.

Maria was the daughter of the late Marciano, Sr. and Julia Macias Gonzalez of Smeltertown, Texas. Her surviving siblings are Carolina Gonzalez Jackson (my mom), Roberto (Beto), and Ricardo (Richy). She was married to the late Carlos Palacio, Sr., and the mother of Carlos, Jr. (Pelon); Alicia (who passed away in the late 70's); Fernando (Cocono); Alfredo (Muchy); and Marta (Martina), and many grandchildren..

Arrangements are pending, but I will be sure to let you know as soon as they become known.

Also, if you know of others who should receive this news, please pass this on to them for me. Thank you in advance for your help. Also, here is a link to my favorite group picture of the family that was taken by my dad Terrel Jackson.

Condolences to the whole Gonzalez family. Growing up in Smeltertown we all shared in those times and now in the sadness of losing one in that extended family. I was in the Navy with Richie and remember the family very well. Blessings in Christ
