AHCC Legacy Day
Celene Barela 
I always said my daddy was a great man who did a lot of great things and helped a lot of people in his lifetime...I'm very proud to know his legacy will live on happily relaxing in the courtyard under the shade for all to see.
Thank you Connie Lee for being so kind, for loving my dad and mom as if they were your own and for recognizing their contribution to the AHCC. Everything was wonderful.
