We see the family tradition begun by Berta Orta de Yáñez, who left flowers on Edmond William Quear Jr.´s tomb every time she visited the cemetery. This soldier´s grave is next to the Yánez family crypt, which was purchased in 1956. At that time, Doña Berta began leaving an offering every time she visited her relatives in the Panteón del Roble cemetery. (FILMAFFINITY)
