Tragedy hit in South Tucson over the weekend: A family of four, taken from the world too soon.
Jose Tanco, his wife Yesenia Brito and their two daughters Yasmin and Lilian were killed in a car accident in Sonora.
“He was a very good father, a very good friend,” family friend Ivan Ballestros told me. “He was a taking horse there—that was the plan and it just didn’t happen.”
The City of South Tucson held a moment of silence was held for Jose, Yesenia, Yasmin and and Lilian at its City Council meeting Tuesday.

“You know, there’s a lot of tragedies in the world happening. But this one—a lot of people are involved in this one, a lot of people are coming together helping out with funds and trying to make everything easier for their families.”
