I have had the hardest time thinking of what to say.  I guess because there is just too much to put into words.  You had a way of guiding us without interfering but ready to help pick us up and encourage us back to the right path when needed.  You were the “cool mom” among our friends and treated everyone with the same respect no matter what.  You were such a great listener and knew what to say to make us feel better.  You were such a great influence on us all which will continue for generations. I miss you and I love you Mom.  Say Hello to Grandma for me.

I though about calling her so many times today, I actually pulled my phone out to do so yesterday.  My mom and I talked about everything all the time, she was a good listener.  I hope that feeling never leaves me...the urge to call her.  Wanting to tell her what’s going on, work out a problem, vent and most importantly let her know what’s going on with the girls.  There’s always something going on with them and she loved hearing about all of it. 
I’m going to miss you so much...❤️

Linda was my best friend of many years.....from mothers raising kids, middle age working women, to  being  old women.  We had such fun  reminiscing about old times, our kids, then and now, talking politics (we were on the same page), and her Astros.  Although we ate at different places, our preference was La Hacienda, the one kinda behind Lowe’s and Ella.  Linda always told me when and where to turn to get there.   Once she gave me advice that I heeded and certainly passed on to this day.  Regarding a man, she said, “ Remember, if you marry, you can’t send  ‘em home.”  I laughed and laughed, but Linda could be so funny.  I’m  so sad at her passing, but I know where she is.  She is at peace and she is with the Lord.  When your time on earth is over,  May the same be said  of you.

Mom Linda is a great Mother mother in law. the best memories that I will never forget, is when I just arrived here in the US and 3 days after James needed to go back to the rig, mom Linda did here best to make me feel not alone, she shopped  for me, she showed me the place were James grow up, she teaches me how to drive, she treated me like her own daughter, we go out a lot. When I visit her, we can talked the whole day and not realizing it is night already. The last memories we had is when she is with us, I’m watching tv and   she called, what I am doing, I told her I’m drinking beer, and  she wanting me to drink a beer beside her, she’s telling me her life story until and she fall asleep. Not realizing that night is the last bonding I had with her. I love her so much. She is the best mother in law in the world to me. 

Grandma was my true friend. We had such a special bond. I loved spending time with her. Not many people know, but she was a yo-yo master! It was so fun watching her do tricks. One of my all-time favorite memories is grandma taking me to the book fair at my school to buy Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I was so excited to read it, and fell in love with the series. I love to read because is her.

One of my favorite childhood memories is being at grandma Linda’s house as a young boy watching MJs thriller on MTV and drinking grandmas sun sweet tea. She was such a sweet and kind grandma. I can’t recall a single time she even raised her voice at me. She also influenced and nurtured my love for baseball. I still have and will always cherish the autographed Nolan Ryan baseball she gave me. I’m also so grateful for her recent trip to Florida to visit with us and the opportunity that her and Welles had gotten to meet and spend time with one another.
