Traditionally, altars feature the four elements: water, wind, earth and fire, but it's important to note that every state in Mexico has its own particular way of setting up their ofrendas. Use this shared space to make your own offering and learn more by joining us on November 4th, 2021 in recognition of this important Mexican tradition. en-us 2021-10-28 16:47:11 UTC 2025-10-07 21:19:31 UTC hello@padlet.com ebrenes https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1851953570 2021-10-28 16:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1851953570 https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1854805150 2021-10-29 21:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1854805150 https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1854916654 These are photos of special moments spent with our beloved son-in-law, Tanner, who passed away at the age of 36 in September of 2019.

She was a tremendous artist and a deeply caring person who prioritized students in a way that inspired me and many others. The world is a lesser place without her in it. Her emails always ended with a great quote. Here's the quote she included from the last email I got from her:

"Only one thing remained reachable, close and secure amid all losses, language.  Yes, language.  In spite of everything, it remained secure against loss."  Paul Celan]]> 2021-11-01 18:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1859564051 https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1859808192 Pops, "love you 9 times" — lulu]]> 2021-11-01 20:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1859808192 noelia_ortiz2 https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1860768882 Shine bright , I'll always look up for you ✰]]> 2021-11-02 05:53:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1860768882 https://padlet.com/ebrenes/ae5zdjvxgp139yib/wish/1862355522 Missing my good friend and former band mate who recently passed away in his home in Albuquerque, NM. He was a brilliant songwriter, performer and vocalist and guitar player. An all around great human being whose life was cut short right before his 50th birthday. A proud Diné man, who graciously shared his culture with all thru his music and art. We will never forget you Ira 🎶✊🏾✨
