On the first entry I had no idea what to say and as time flew by one memory kept coming up to me.  It was the last time you were here in Chicago, it was a Saturday and we were going garage hunting. Daniel was driving, you sitting in the front, in the back seat was Rachel, Jessica and me.  For the first twenty minutes we were all quiet and then you said who died.  I asked you why and then Daniel said here we go.  You started with some joke or maybe something funny that happen when you all use to go work in the fields, all I remember is that the rest of the trip was all the way laughter.  I mean we all laugh so much everytime we got in the car that Daniel had to stop at gasoline stations for you know what.  We learn that it does not matter where we are but to always laugh at something, or invent something to laugh about, but that it would make your day go faster and you will be more alive.  Thank you for making this memory for all of us.  We will miss you greatly over here even though we were far away, but I know that one day we will see each other again.  We love you from all of us, the crazy gang in Chicago, Daniel, Liz, Jessica, Sue, Jason and Josais.

Grandma,
We are all going to miss you.  I will always remember how you were such an important part of Trey's birth.  How many children are lucky enough to have a greatgrandmother there at their birth, and have them around to watch you grow.  We were blessed to have you in his life for 14 years.  You were there when he was born, and I cherish the picture of you holding your newest greatgrandson.  You were amazingly correct on his being a boy (when I was convinced he was a girl!) and were a constant source of comfort to me before and after he was born.  Trey came home from the hospital in a little sweater, hat and booties that you had loving made for him, every stitch surrounded him in love.  I will always cherish that outfit and have it lovingly set aside to give Trey when he brings his first child home.  Your legacy and love will live forever in your children, your grandchildren, your greatchildren and to future generations. I am honored to have known you.  We will miss you.  God Bless you.

From my earliest memory of you, Grandma to my most recent one, there is something I always knew- that you were sincerely thankful for everything that was in your life. You always were quick to return a smile and I never heard you say anything to me, or my family that wasn't supportive and filled with love. I will miss you and know that we were all so lucky to have had you in our lives. That you and Grandpa are together again, will give me peace. We love you!

My Grandma, who kept the family together after Grandpa, and whom I have always kept a great respect.  Each and every one of your sons and daughters, plus grandsons and granddaughters, nephews and nieces will always be at your side forever.
Love you always, your grandson Vince Castorena III

RIP too my Grandma Castorena... Thank you for all the wonderful kind words that you spoke to me as a child and all the encouragement y ou gave me as a grown woman and mother they will be forever remembered just like you in my heart, mind and my soul...We weren't prepared at all this day,When God called you away.So many tears we will cry,Longing to keep you by our side...How we love and will miss you so, And weren't ready to let you go.... Within the twinkling of our eyes,You entered into paradise.... A place with beauty beyond measure,Eternal happiness and treasure.....Where you have no more pain or tears,Nor sorrow, worries, and fears....Although, for now, we are apart,Your precious memories live in our heart,Until God calls us each to heaven's door,Where we'll be reunited, forever more.....
