Jose Loredo said his mother, Maria De La Luz Loredo, was sweet, persistent, and tried to make the best out of any situation. He said she was the American dream.
“She came as an immigrant, became an American citizen,” Loredo told KPRC 2 reporter Corley Peel. “She fought hard. Most of the time as a single mom. She persevered. My mom was a housekeeper, the people she worked with helped her a lot too.”
