Ronnie,
I will remember you for how kind and welcoming you always were to me when I first started dating Dominic and would go to the family gatherings with him.
My fondest memory of you was when Ramon drove you, your girls, Gina and her boys to see us the day I came home from the hospital with Lorenzo, 25 years ago. It was so very sweet and I am glad I have that memory to share.
Rest easy and in peace.
Love, Tiffany & Dominic

My Dearest Ronnie,
I will miss your smile and laughter. And I will always remember the time when you came camping to desert with us. You brought your curling iron and hair dryer. You gave Uncle Adam and I a huge chuckle out of it. Rest In Peace my beautiful niece.
Love,
Auntie Mona

Ronnie,
I am so sad to hear of your passing. I think back on all the great memories of you/us during middle school. Our crew was deep and we had such fun times together. Thank you. Your smile, dimples, sweet personality and that hair flip will never be forgotten. Love you.

Dear Sweet Veronica,
I can't be you are gone. It seems like yesterday when we were all small, going to grandma and grandpa's house for Sunday dinners. I will miss your crazy laugh and beautiful smile. I will never forget the time when we went to Black Angus for dinner. I must've been 18 because I didn't have Jordan yet. The waitress was so rude to us. We thought it was because we were young and she didn't think we would tip. You gave the waitress a penny as a tip. You laughed your butt off as we walked out of the restaurant. You were so silly. I'm so sad for our family, especially your mom, sister, brother, daughters, and grandson. Give my brother, Joey a hug for me. We miss you so much already.
Love,
Your cuz, Tisha

Dear Ronnie, (Veronica),
Your smile and laughter will truly be missed. You had a funny sense of humor, which I loved and adored. Your laughter was cautious. I will always remember the times you taught me how to rap. ( Unfortunately I stink at it and still to this day ) . I remember when we hung out and we rapped to Salt and Pepper, all the time. You so loved rapping. And you were good at it.
I know one day we will see each other again. I love you my beautiful cousin. ❤️
❤️ Your cousin Nikka (Monique)

With love Auntie Susie and Uncle Bob

So many wonderful fun times with Veronica/Ronnie. All started at the Blue Roofs I want to say in middle school. Introduced to her by Raquel and Regina who I have known since elementary school. What a strong family you all have. Her smile lit up any room she was in. Her cute little voice I can still hear in my head. She was kind, loyal, and loving. My heart goes out to her daughters, sister, extended family and of course her Momma. She was Angel on earth and has now gained her wings❤️
Grateful to have known her...

Veronica, I'm so sad to hear of your passing. It's been too long since I've seen you and all of the pictures I'm seeing are a sweet reminder of how beautiful and special you are. I would always get updates on you from Regina and Raquel but now, I wished I had seen you myself. When I think of you, I will always see you in junior high and high school. So beautiful. So little. Fun, crazy, laughing. We had a lot of good times. Since junior high, whenever Regina and Raquel talked about their cousin Veronica, I always felt like you were my cousin too. I always will. I'll be praying for your family. For their hearts to be comforted and that memories will bring smiles. Sending you all love. You too, Veronica.

My dearest cousin/BFF,
I’m still in disbelief that you are gone! I will continue to hold on and cherish our memories that we have built throughout our lifetime! It was always you and me when hanging out at Grandma’s or family gatherings. You were an Amazing cousin so full of life and adventure! One of my memories that seem stick out is how we jacked some little boy for his bike because we didn’t want to walk home. Of course, I talked you into giving it back once I saw the kid crying. I know you are now my guardian angel and will continue to watch over me. I am going to miss you and You are forever in my heart! Until we meet again...💔
Love your cuz,
Gina

Hi mom,
I hope you're having loads of fun in the afterlife. I really miss you and I keep mentally hearing you yell out "buddah". I'm so glad I turned down that job and didn't move to Santa Monica, because it allowed me to spend every minute with you. I love you mom, hopefully I'll continue to make you proud. Please watch over us and show us when you're near. Kiss Apollo for me too. Gone way too soon but always in our hearts.
Love Always,
Your buddah Jessica

Veronica (mom), you were truly so blessed with kindness. Since the day we’ve met you’ve always been so nice and kind to me. You trusted me with your daughters life and gave me your blessings. Whenever there was an issue you always had both of us look at the brighter and most positive side of things. You were the most neutral person when it came down to things. Thank you for being a wonderful mother, mother in law and grandmother to our son Jayce. I know you’ll keep watching over us all, say hi to my grandmother in heaven. I promise I’ll be the best me I can be for Jazmin and Jayce. Rest peacefully and continue to guide us through our paths.
