Her home was always filled with warmth, laughter, and the comforting aroma of her homemade meals. She loved singing along to her favorite songs, watching her novelas and TV shows, and spending peaceful moments on her front porch, greeting neighbors and enjoying the beauty of her surroundings.

Her kind heart and generosity touched many lives, as she was always willing to lend a helping hand or share a word of encouragement.
Rosa’s greatest joy was her family. She devoted her life to raising and nurturing her children, supporting them in their education, careers, and dreams.

Her wisdom and life lessons will continue to guide her children and grandchildren for generations to come.
