My Momo. You were so much more than just my grandmother, you were my 2nd mommy, What an honor it was to be your voice, eyes and ears during these final years when you lost yours. Never a burden.  I took this responsibility as a blessing. Knowing how much you loved and cared for me growing up made it easy. We were so much alike, and I learned so much from you. You taught me about faith and trust in God, how to put family first, how to be strong, how to cook, how to dress like a lady, and gave me my passion for gardening. These are just a few things that come to mind. Your unconditional love and only wanting the best for my life, prayers and advice that was not always easy to hear, but always right, are just some of the things I will miss about you. We sharred so many similarities in who we are, but my favorite is our love of the beach, ocean breeze and smell, the sun's reflection on the water, and feeding the seagulls. You will forever be in my heart and will live on through me. Thank you for loving me always, entrusting me with your care, and most of all, your prayers over my life. Those prayers have been answered, and God has blessed my life tremendously. He has filled me with peace knowing you are in heaven with my mommy, Popo, Jesse, your brothers and sisters and parents. You are after 91 years of life at rest. I can remember about 5 years ago you saying to me, "I have lived a long, full, happy life, no regrets, I am ready to go home". Well, God was not ready for you at that time, He needed to call home my mommy first, to prepare your mansion in His kingdom. I love you always and forever. Your devoted granddaughter, Rebecca Garza-Rosette
