DONELIA,  
You were not only My sister, you were my ANGEL IN SHINING ARMOR.  There is no one in my entire life that has meant so much to Me.  YOU  listened, cared, scolded, cried,  and loved with your whole HEART.  In my entire life, You Sis were the first person I remember hearing  the words.  
" I LOVE YOU" from.  You have always been there through every illness I have ever had  Rheumatic fever as a young child, I remember your tears and nursing. My adult trials and illnesses. quite a few,
I  Pray that I can leave a mark in someone's life.  As vivid and blessed as the mark you  left in mine.

"FLY HIGH ANGEL YOU ARE  PROBABLY THE ONLY ANGEL IN YOUR REALM  CLAD IN SHINING ARMOR" .      "I LOVE YOU BACK"     


Mom, 

I love you still, I love you forever,  I am yours and you are mine.  Nothing will change that forever yours

My favorite memory of Tia Donnie is from the summer I turned 21. We happened to be in California that week. On the way home, my dad planned a stop in Las Vegas. My Tia gave me $20 dollars to gamble with. To me it was a lot of money, and I couldn’t believe she’d been so generous. I was sure I was going to strike it rich, give her half and make all our lives better. It didn’t happen....but I’ll never forget the dreams and possibilities she afforded me that summer. I love you Tia Donnie.  I’ll miss you always, and can just hear you scolding Tio Russell now. ❤️❤️❤️

Some people are blessed to have a wonderful mom. I was blessed to have two.  My childhood memories will always include memories at my home and across the street at my Ambos home. 
 After I lost my biological mom I enjoyed the conversations I had with my 2nd mom. When we talked, I could hear the happiness in her voice to hear from one of her kids. My life has been greatly enriched to have had Donnie in my life. Part of who I am is due to how she touched my life. Our families were so entwined.
 It is with great sadness that I write this tribute, but also with with great joy to know that she is with our Lord and family members that have also passed.  We will meet again and it will be with much happiness as I am once again untied with my two moms. Two women who knew how to love unconditionally. 


Dear Ambos & Garcia Family:
Having just lost our mother earlier this year I feel your pain. It has been a huge loss to our family.
 We share your loss. 
 Mom always looked forward to Christmas as your mother always sent Christmas wishes to her Tia. I guess
they are rejoicing  in heaven this year.  Please accept our  family's deepest sympathies. In this time of grief, you
 are in our thoughts and in our prayers.  We pray that in this difficult time, the love of God shelters you and 
mends  your pain as you move forward.
 May the peace of the Lord be with you all. 

Donelia "Nela" was a farm girl and knew that for machines to work at their optimum they need lubrication. Our old wind-up clock stopped working and ten tear old Nela poured her big brother Mike's "Brilliantine hair oil" generously all over the clock and it worked "Brilliantly" for a long time, with its oil stained face.  Nela I know you're seeing this and other memorial comments with a smile on your face, you were a good "tit puller" pulling the cows teats to milk the cows. "Never stop smiling" and give our love to mom and dad and our hermana Matilde and our other departed loved ones. Love Brother Alfredo

Donelia, I have nothing much to say. But I appreciate that you told me once that you could talk to me because I could listen without giving advice, and so was easy to talk to. I suppose my ignorance is a real gift, sometimes. :).  Even though like  others,  I sometimes don't know when to shut up. I appreciate having you as a "big sister". Maybe you are bigger than Art and I. I have nothing much to say, except; You will be missed!

Dear Ambos family, I'll always remember Tia Donnies sweet voice and genuine smile. She was definitely a classy lady. Rest in Peace sweet Tia Donnie💕❤💕❤

I am so so sorry for the loss of aunt Donnie. All the vacations to California were memorable thanks to the Ambos clan. 
The last family reunion I was so blessed to be there and see this most beautiful women. Thank you ALL for sharing your mom with me and our family. I sure hope her and my gram are sitting up on the cloud they have  holding hands and just being content. God speed. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I am sorry. 

The Ambos house was one of my favorite places to visit as a kid. I was just as happy there as going to the beach. Tío Russell and Tía Donelia were very accommodating to our large family.  I know Tía Donelia worked hard to prepare the house and feed us all. I'm glad she was able to spend her life in the same house where so many memories of raising her lovely family were created.  RIP, Tía Donnie and enjoy the next life with Tío Russell, Prima Donilee and our many ancestors. 

You are greatly missed by all of us here. Grandma I will never forget your love and strength. My kids will never forget their GG... who we all talked to and played with and how we cherish every moment we all were able to share with you. The kids will always remember you as their wonderful GG who kept the endless supply of tootsie pops in the cupboard! In all seriousness, Rest In Peace and know how greatly loved your are by your family!
Love,
Jayme, Andrew and Haylie

When her brother Arthur was a little boy
He says he always wanted to be as big as 
His sister Doniela!  She was my sister in law but I loved her as a sister. RIP Donnie
