We all know that recognition makes everyone proud. It makes everyone happy and grateful for any recognition they receive. We always appreciate the things a person can do, may it be simple or big things. But one thing that makes the appreciation special is when you make the gesture during their lifetime. Some of us might think that getting a recognition or award afterlife is good, but other would want to receive them during their lifetime. We don’t know the exact thoughts of Isabel’s mom during the Walk of Fame awarding ceremony for Isabel Granada, but here are some details.
Isabel Granada"s mother grew tearful as she accepted her daughter"s star at the Eastwood Walk of Fame on Tuesday night. Wearing a black dress, Guapa Castro-Granada turned emotional besides Isabel"s widower, Arnel Cowley, during the unveiling.
