It seems that most if not all politicians loose focus of this (if they ever had it to begin with) and end up serving everything else but their constituents. But, not so with my dear friend, Delma Petrullo. She always went around saying that she is a lousy politician because she was here to serve her constituents.
She had the ability too, to make a huge impact on anyone that she crossed paths with. A very unique and special person she was.
This past Sept. 4th, the City of Rio Rancho dedicated and planted a tree in her memory. It was the first kind of tree memorial the city has had (you too can get one for someone for a mere $300.00 which is a lifetime guarantee along with the dedication plaque).
The dedication, having taken place early in the morning, lent itself to many, many shadows.
And many of our city's firemen were there too along with family and friends. Although, I did wonder why there was nary a police officer from the city there. A curious thing indeed.
This Sept. 24th, she would've been 61 years old/young.
Every week, a group of us from around the world post our shadow shots over at Hey Harriet. Entertain your muse and be amused by stopping by to see what others have posted! You can also view all Shadow Shot postings I've done by scrolling all the way down and on the left side you will see an archive of labels for my posts. Look for Shadow Shot Sunday and click on that link for an "all you can view" buffet of shadow shots!

The shadows let us see the sunny skies that only give a bit of a happy glow over a sad day. The loss seems too hard to handle, but this person so touched many, and those who attended will carry Delma's spirit and dedication on into the community. A touching reminder of a lovely person.
Lovely tribute to someone who touched many while she was here.
Great shadow!
she sounds like a rare politician, one to be valued while alive and mourned when passed....
nice shadows!
Loving every inch of your shots, girl. So alive.
So much sun.
Great shots!

Delma Petrullo sounds as though she was a rarity in the world of politics. Pity there are not more like her! Great post and some very cool shadows!!!
Isn't it wonderful to leave this earth, being loved and missed and to have done your job to the best of your ability? What even makes this sweeter, people on earth realized her worth. Wonderful shadows and blog.
Happy SSS.
Beautiful tribute! And your photo is beautiful too!
