Esperanza was an excellent cook and loved preparing food for family gatherings. Her daughters will always remember and appreciate her seamstress talent and her late nights while making their quinceañera dresses. Esperanza was also a trusted nanny for Andrew and Sophie Minick, who she loved like her own. She loved mariachi music, to dance, play the slots and drink margaritas. She was always the life of the party. Esperanza will be greatly missed.
