"It was an honor and privilege for me to have unveiled the Angel. When I was unveiling her, I felt that all of our descendants were helping me. Words cannot describe my feelings at that moment but I will never forget March 28, 2004."

There was about 70 plus descendants at the unveiling. It was a privilege to have Marina and Armenia Alvarez 4th Generation Honorary Descendant present at the unveiling. Joe Hernandez Sr. 5th Generation Honorary Descendant and his son Joe Jr. 6th Direct Descendant traveled th farthest in the United States; they came from California. Gemma A. Ibrahim, 6th Direct Descendant came the farthest in the world; she came from Kuwait.

The Angel was very well represented by her descendants. We should all be very proud of her humanitarian actions and all of the lives she saved. It is our duty as parents, grandparents and great-grandparents to educate our children of our descendant.
