Tia Mary,

I no longer have to ask how you are doing. I can now say hello to you at anytime of the day. You are now in Jesus’ arms resting in peace. You had a golden and generous heart. You cared for us all. I remember you being in my life since my youngest years. You always offered me your guidance, support and love. I always knew you were near to lend me your assistance. You supported me with your presence at each stage of my life. You definitely knew God and Jesus. You were victorious in your battle. You baffled doctors each time you recuperated from each hospitalization. God intended you to live until your mission was completed. Thank you for loving me. I will cherish all the memories I have of you. I will also cherish our last text message and conversation. I enjoyed our conversations and laughs. Thank you for remembering me when you cooked my favorite dishes. Thank you for being you. I can no longer see you with my eyes or touch you with my hands but I will feel you in my heart  forever. You are greatly missed. R.I.P. my Dear Tia. I love you. Frankie 

On  our  way  2  say  good bye  to   a   beautiful  and 2  a nice  prima  thank  u 4 always  caring for our fam  and thank u 4 always  having a moment  2 call mom  2 see how she was doing .u will always be miss   we  love u and always will  may u rest in peace 

..well todays the day Grandma. I never thought I would be saying bye so soon. I remember all the time I pratically begged my mom to let me stay with you for weeks at a time cause I “wanted to stay with grandma forever”. I’ll never forget just our talks sitting outside or our everyday text/phone calls. Your faith was something truly incredible. I know you’re watching over us. You had the kindest heart/love, the strong mind and most importantly the strongest faith. You would always say “don’t cry for me when I go, I’ll be up in heaven celebrating” and that’s exactly where you are. No words can really give you much justice on just how amazing and impactful you are in my life, most importantly you were one of my best friend. I’ll miss you more than I can even put into words. Thank you mostly for all the memories I get to cherish, from birth till now you’ve never left my side. I know I can’t see you but you still will never leave side.  Again thank you for being just the perfect example of a strong, faithful women. You’ll always be my fighter. I love & miss you. 

My deepest condolences to my uncle Manuel and my dear cousins Manuel, Cindy and Lori. My beloved tia was my godmother and my friend. She always made me feel special. I will miss her smile and hugs dearly but I truly believe she is resting now with our Lord and Savior and this brings me great comfort. I took much delight in our heart to heart talks and I thank God for the years he gave us because we created beautiful memories. Love you always tia and you'll be forever in my ❤️!

Querida Prima Dulia,
Gracias por siempre estar al pendiente de mama (tu Tia Mina) y por compartir tu casa a mi familia a cualquier hora.  Dios te ha recibido con sus brazos abiertos porque a un Angel ha llamado y aunque nos ha quedado un profundo dolor tenemos fe en que nos volveremos a re-encontrar cuando Dios asi lo disponga.  We Love You, 
Tia Mina, Primos Jorge, Norma, Julissa, Julio, Arnold, Yendy, Rosalinda and John.

To my beloved prima Dulia, thank you for the kind words of wisdom,good sound advice ,Never will forget our last talk at Letty’s, so grateful to see you and undoubtedly forever in my heart. Enjoy your walks on the streets of GOLD. Love you always, TONE AND FAMILY. 

My thoughts and prayers are with you all! Over the last ten years I have witnessed what
 A true family is. My heart breaks for you all. Sending all my love!!! 

I just wanted to give my condolences to one of the best families I have ever known "The Rosales's" (Manuel, Manuelito as Mary would say, Cindy,  and of course Lori). Mary was the sweetest lady you could ever meet I knew her all my life she was very dear to my mother and to myself as well. I will miss her dearly. RIP Mary. Love you! 💜💜 Love, Lanee

I love you Tia Dulia you were truly an angel on earth. I will miss your soft spoken words, your smile and most importantly your genuine love. Since as far as I can remember you have always been there for us ,,,,,you and uncle Manuel never told my grandpa January no when he asked for money for food or gas. As I grew up we had many conversations about different things but your genuine interest and smile always made me feel welcomed. I last saw you at Marcus’s graduation party and I was so happy to see you with Aunt Luisa and Frank.  I thank you and Uncle Manuel for always loving us and truly being a blessing to us I’ll never forget your big heart and your soft kisses on the cheek  when we greeted each other. Give Chris a big hug for me till we meet again I love you and thank you and your family for always being there for us. Love your niece Joyce 

 Really don't know how to express myself but. I feel like  part of me is missing.  I loved Mary like a sister. We were friends for most of our lives.  An I will miss her.   I will miss your visits an. Our. Talks. Rest in peace Mary. Mi Amiga. Till we meet again.

My prayers and condolences to the Rosales family especially (Manuel, Lori, Cindy and Mr. Rosales) . My family and I had the honor of meeting  Mrs. Rosales a few years back and getting to talk to her on several occasions.. She was a very loving, caring and religious lady and always greeted my family and I like if we were a part of her family.  She was a wonderful great grandma and loved my niece and nephew Aleighia and Robert Gonzalez dearly. Again our sincere condolences to you all,  from  Carmen, and the Gonzalez family.. She will be dearly missed! 

We are thinking of Mary and Manuel.  Mary and Manuel are an example of love and  family bond.  Mary will always be an example of how to love your family and to be there with the family for all the little and big things in life.  Mary always made sure to welcome us by name and a hug at every family gathering.  She always asked about our lives and gave a blessing for a safe drive home.   I see the way Manuel loves her so much.  Mary teaches us to focus on family just as she always will.  

It’s been twenty-three years since I was welcomed into the Rosales family. From the first day Mrs. Rosales has also treated me like a son. I have never meet a kinder angel than her. She has been there for our entire family whether it be financially or spiritually. She was one to always make you feel you were always welcome. There would be times we could sit and watch movies and joke for hours about everything and everyone. Even though I never called her mom, just “ Lori’s Mom” I knew we loved each other. It seemed that she would always stick up for me and back me up. This past Sunday I lost my biggest ally but in return another guardian angle along with my Dad “Holmes”.  She will be missed dearly. I was able to promise her that I would alway be there for Manuel and the entire family as long as I had a breath in me. This will never be good bye just till we are together again. GOD gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and turns them into Angles......  Love you MOM.  

Adrian Ryland

My heartfelt condolences to the family.
I had the privilege of meeting Maria a few times during my visits in Corpus.
She was one of the sweetest, kindest, and lovable women I ever met.
Maria, we'll miss you so much. You will be forever in our hearts and as God's Angel watching over us.
Rest in peace 💕
