No one knows better than I what you are thinking and feeling, for I have so recently gone through the same experience.
 Please accept my deepest sympathy.
         
         Affectionately,

Delfina was my mother's first baby. Mom was saying on Monday night that she and our daddy were so happy when Del was born, she  was so  little and cute!  She grew up to be an awesome woman, wife and mother. Del was very proud of the fact that she was the oldest of Mom's fourteen kids. "I'm the oldest"! was something that she let us know  more than a few times! Delfina will certainly be missed by our family,  but we rejoice in the fact that she is in a better place, no more pain and sadness. I'm sure she is laughing somewhere in "the Beautiful Garden" knowing that she won "Bingo in the middle" !!! Rest in Peace, Del. You earned it!

We are so sorry to hear about Fina. We use to play Loteria with her all the time at her apt. She use to call me and my boy friend Mr. & Mrs. peewee. It's a long story..but we really enjoyed your mother...she always had us laughing. She will be deeply missed. Our prayers go out to the family..may God comfort you all the days of your life. Amen!

Our Grandmother "Mom", there are many beautiful things I can say about this woman...hard worker, loving wife, funny, independent, bingo lover, strong, spunky......I could go on, these are just a few words to describe her. 

I don't want to speak of her in a past tense form, she leaves behind a legacy that will live on in many of her children,  grandchildren and great grandkids too, as long as we continue to do things that she would do she will still be very much alive...for instance the next time you yell out "BINGO!" or hop on a bus to Coushatta, maybe you want to put on your war paint for a night out (if you wear makeup you know what I mean), or pick up one of those word search books and do a few.....catch an Episode of Walker Texas Ranger or an old Cowboy movie....the list could go on and on, you could even just love someone with all your heart......she was very good at that, in her last words to me she said "Moni, just take care of your kids." I know it's what she would do, it's what she did. How we live out our days should be a reflection of her...continue to live, laugh, and cry...just remember to have fun and smile like she did.

Today I celebrate life, she did that as well, I look forward to seeing her in the future but I also look forward to the days to come because it's with those that I will have the opportunity to share her love with family and friends.

My Mother left behind 7 children, Rodrigo Ruiz, Olga M. Aleman, Elizabeth Armendariz, Eva Armendariz, Sylvia Lugo, Leopoldo Ruiz, Jr., and Anthony F. Ruiz. 25 grandchildren and 48 great-grandchildren. Our Mother is also survived by her Mother Paula Garza and 12 brothers and sisters. My mom loved to dance and play bingo. In her last years she made new friends at Primrose Senior Home Living, these friends were great companions in her senior years. I will hold my mom in my heart right by where my dad is. 
Love your baby,
Sylvia

My Grandmother, Delfina G. Ruiz,  will be deeply missed, but she will never be forgotten nor far from our hearts. May our memories of her bring us the comfort our hearts need to get through this time. She would want nothing but for us to continue living our lives with the understanding that she is where she has longed to be, by the side her beloved soul mate, my Grandfather, Leopoldo Ruiz. 
I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND WILL SEE YOU AGAIN ONE DAY MOM!
