[J22-Fleet 1] Very Sad News About CC - THANK YOU EVERYONE!

[Carmen "CC" Velarde]

Hello My Dear Fellow Sailors,
 
These last few weeks have been difficult for my brother and I as we try to adjust to the loss of our father.  Many of you may not know this but my brother and I are first generation Americans (i.e. first in our family to be born in the US), and do not have family in the US.  We really don’t know either side of our families as they live thousands of miles away.  
 
So when I received the numerous warm comforting and supportive emails, calls, cards and gifts from you, it humbled me immensely.  You made me feel as though I have an extend family at WYC and words cannot express my great admiration and gratitude in knowing you.  I am truly honored to be a member at WYC with such outstanding and caring sailors.
 
Therefore, I am writing to thank you all so very much for every kind word, kind jester, compassionate hug and more importantly your warm hearted friendship.  You have greatly contributed to the ease of the healing process.
 
Thank you everyone so much.
 
Love to you all,
CC

Hello Everyone,
 
It is with great regret that I share with you the news that CC's (Carmen E. Velarde) father, Edward M. Velarde passed away from a massive heart attack at 8:30 p.m. Thursday evening (September 22nd).
 
This was very much unexpected and the family is shocked by the news.  His burial was at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, September 24th in La Paz, Bolivia; the place where her father is from.  
 
CC and her brother, Jaime E. Velarde (lives in Minitrista, MN) are considering visiting their father's burial site sometime within the year.
 
Some of you may have met Edward Velarde a few years ago when he visited WYC.  CC's father was a very learned, witty and caring man.  He was very proud of his children and supported them in all their accomplishments.  CC's father was her last living parent and, her and her brother will miss him immensely. 
 
Please keep our fellow sailor and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
 
Thank you,
 
John Speltz
Capri Fleet Captain
