With life came the stepping stones that only made her stronger and loving for all who she

encountered and nothing stopped her from living life to the fullest. With the smallest bread crumbs, she shared her wisdom that made her the strong-willed woman who loved her family. She enjoyed going to Wynstar, family get-togethers, traveling, and being with her sisters. She used her time to paint beautiful paintings of what her heart felt for all of us. Her home was full of love; you could feel that love the minute you entered her home. She enjoyed talking about Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father's love for all of us.

Those left to honor her from her family are sisters Gloria Perez, Isabel Gonzalez, and Mary Perez, sister-in-laws Eleticia Ledesma, Maria Vasquez, and Sandra Grubbs, and one brother-in-law Jesse Lugo.

As we celebrate her life of love and not goodbyes, we will remember her as a beam of light

that filled us with laughter, hope, fear, and most of all love that we will embrace forever

in life and in our hearts. We love you forever Mommy now go and dance in the heavens above.

“Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
