Last Names of Nuevo Leon

Yesterday as I was reading Mimi Lozano’s newsletter I came across the notice that my friend Ernesto Uribe had passed away on November the 21st. The last email that I received from him was on November the 10th, it was a reply to one of my emails with the words “Keep up the good work…”, my friend I will.

Ernesto Uribe

I remember the first email that I ever got from him, he asked if I could review his book TLALCOYOTE. A few days later his book was on my doorstep. It was a wonderful read, a story greater than life. I highly recommend it to everyone. With this blog post, I just wanted to share his obituary with you and also make you aware of blogs posts by him or where he is mentioned on this website, finally, I wanted to let you know about his books.
