My Tia Rosa was one of the strongest Women I knew.  All the Women,  in this family,  were smart, strong, loving,  kind and determined. I grew up watching my Grand Mother,  Mom  and  Tias had a very close relationship. Cooking and preparing food for all,  us, kids.  Sitting at the kitchen table,  eating and enjoying one anothers company, after everyone else ate. 
You will always live in my heart and my memories. 


My Nana, ohhh were to start my nana is the most biggest hearted 💗 person I know. No matter what her situation was she was always willing to help anybody. She always saw the good in everyone never judged others. I love 💖 to hear how many people love my nana and how many people she helped or had such a huge empact on. I am so thankful and blessed to have had my nana to be able to call her mine. Am gonna miss driving you crazy with all our Snapchat pictures am gonna miss you so much 😘 but I know that I can’t be selfish and I know you are not suffering, hurting, or in pain anymore. I know you are with God and all your loved ones who have passed before you. I can just picture how amazingly beautiful you look. We are truly going to be missing such an amazing women but this is not good bye nana this is see you later until we meet in your amazing kingdom. I love you Nana times infinity 💫 and beyond. 

When you loose someone in your family it always makes you think of the good times you had with that person.  As an adult i remember back to when I was a kid and the places that felt like home.
My Tia Rosa’s house was one of those places.  I  remember ALWAYS asking my Mom & Tata if we were going to Tio & Tia’s house on Friday nights.  If for whatever reason we didn’t go on Friday night I would ask on Saturday if we were going. I probably got some “como friegas” remarks, but it was always worth a shot! Lol! I remember cracking nuts out of the bowl of mixed nuts that was always on the dining room table, or having a treat from a plate of sweets bread that could also be on on hand, while the adults were visiting and drinking coffee. She always spoke to me like I was important during these visits, and not like a kid that was sitting in on their conversations. This is the true Tia Rosa way of welcoming you into her home. Her door was always open to anyone. I remember my Tia standing in the kitchen cooking during a lot of visits with her girls helping along side her. This is where the line of fabulous cooks in our family starts, all the hard working Tia’s & Tio’s teaching us what Welita & Welito taught them. 
Tia Rosa would always welcome everyone with a hug and a kiss and a heartfelt welcome.  A welcome that was sincere.  A welcome that won’t be forgotten.  A kind of welcome that could even make a stranger feel welcomed. She had a heart of gold and loved visiting with her family, and who could forget her joyful spirit and ways of always making jokes and laughing.  
My Tia will be truly missed and we will never forget her, but I am glad that her heart of gold remains in the heart of all of her children and grandchildren.  I see so much of her in each of you. Each one of you have her kind, loving, gentle heart. She will live through all of you and I hope this brings each one of you peace.
I love you my cousins!

My Nana, no words could express the kind and beautiful soul she had. She knew to warm your heart with her smile. She could brighten your darkest days with a single touch of her gentle hands. Her heart was so kind and full of love that you would never feel alone or afraid. My heart is so torn knowing I have to continue on the earthly world without her physical presence but at the same time is overwhelm with joy knowing she’s in God grace and able to join her parents and sibling that have gone before her. Her life is just now beginning and she will be amongst the angels dancing in Heaven in eternal life. Till we meet again I will miss you dearly and will carry your memory with me forever and always. I love you Nana
