George and I spent lots of time with my Tia. This photo was on her 91st Birthday having lunch and cake telling stories of family and just acting silly. Tia you will forever be in our ❤️ hearts.

Granny you are free now. You are with our Papa and our Lord. Every time I see a Butterfly, I’ll know that it’s you. You always loved your Mariposa’s. I am going to miss you every day for the rest of my life now. Thank you so much for all your lessons, lectures, and most of all, unconditional love. I will do my best to honor you and Papa by besting the man I could. Rest in Peace Granny. Love you forever 


Your Grandson

My Tia Estela meant the world to me

This is one of my favorite memories of you. Auntie Daisy to the left, Me (Joaquin Alva), and Grandma Stella to the right.

 July 2011

To my Alva cousins I would like to extend my deepest condolences. The loss of a parent is devastating and you like the rest of us Alva cousins have now lost both parents.  I wish I could see how happy my Uncle Jack was to have her join him. Aunt Stella was a great wife, mother, grandmother and a loving aunt. RIP Aunt Stella, you did your job here well.

To my cousins I send my condolences and prayers . My Tia will always be in my heart she always encouraged me focus on my journey in the arts and working with the community.  I’m thankful I was able to tell her I loved her and express to her how much she meant to me . George and I enjoyed our visits with her and love the stories she shared with us about family.
Sending our love and prayers to all of you.

To my Alva cousins, I'm sending my condolences on the passing of my Nina Stella. I have a lot of great memories growing up her and the kids. I enjoyed going to St John Bosco Fiestas and seeing her there with Ticha. We would have a great time. God bless you. ❤️🙏
Love.
 Cousin Marie Mc Murray
