Maria Refugia Velasquez

Maria "Cuca" Velasquez was granted her angel wings-July 23, 2014. Maria celebrated a full life and is survived by her five loving children: Terri Delgado, Mary Rugnao, Tony Velasquez, Nick Velasquez and Angie Fernandez-Velasquez along with their spouses, Ampelia Velasquez, Maria Velasquez, and Hugo Fernandez. "Cuca" is survived by many of her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Maria "Cuca" fought a good fight. She will always be remembered as a passionate and humble person with all her family members. She was so sweet and had a beautiful smile with a natural love and kindness she always displayed. Maria was admired by children for her tireless energy; nothing seemed to slow her down. We will miss those Sunday chats and always quick to start a conversation about the good times and things that meant the most in life. We the family will miss her deeply as she inspired all through her wisdom, passion, and unconditional love for her entire family.

GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED

God saw you getting tire an a cure was not to be

So he put his arms around you and whispered "Come With Me"

With tearful eyes we watched you, slowly fade away,

Although we loved you dearly, we would not make you stay,

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.
