The Piñon Pine, or nut pine (Pinus edulis) was designated in 1948 as the state tree of New Mexico.

I was in shock when I picked up a copy of the Los Alamos Daily Post and read about Heidi Taylor’s Obituary.

The last time I saw her, she was healthy, happy, and exceptionally busy at Memory Maker’s.

I lived on the other side of the street, and she always greeted me with a smile. She never hesitated to welcome me and my husband into her home.
