I  want you to know how much i love you.  I secretly beam when told i look like you.  You have always been beautful in my eyes.  Rest in peace my mami until we meet  again....



There is a void in my heart knowing I will no longer see your face, hold your hand or hear your voice.  There is comfort in my mind knowing you are no longer in pain and are at peace.  I cherish all of  the time we had together, whether it was over a good home cooked meal, watching your shows, or spending time with  my kids.  Mama, I know that love transcends this earth and that family and faith will get us through this time of sadness.  May your next chapter be filled with an abundance of eternal blessings.  I love you and you will be missed dearly.  Until we meet again... Love, your granddaughter Tina

I've known Benigna since I met Maria in grammar school decades ago.  As a youngster and teenager, I spent many weekends at her home.  She always made me feel at home, and indeed as one of her children, and I will never forget that.  Benny has left her body, a mortal garment that has reached its end, but her life continues in another sphere beyond the earthly realm.  Her spirit is eternal.  She will always be close by her loved ones. 


"You never said I'm leaving
  You never said good-bye
  You were gone before we knew it,
  And only God knows why,
 A million times we needed you, 
  A million times we cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
  You never would have died.
  In life we loved you dearly,
  In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a place,
That no one else can fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home."

We will always miss you Mom but take comfort in knowing you are resting now.

If roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me.  Place them in my Mother's arms and tell her they're from me.  Tell her I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for awhile.  Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day.  But there's an ache within my heart that will never go away.

Te quiero mucho Mami.  Que descanse en paz.

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember her and only that she’s gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she’d want:
smile,
open your eyes,
love
and go on.
Love you mom always 

My Abuela was the domino CHAMP. I will miss spending time just playing dominoes and chatting. Love you and miss you.
