Tia, When I found out you were in your last days of life, I knew in my heart, mind, and soul, that I had to be there to see you and my cousins during this difficult time. Even though I was not there when you passed away, I was happy to have been able to be by your side.
It had been about two years since my last visit to town, and at that time, I was able to have my husband Don, and daughter Emily, enjoy your love, thoughts, and stories.
Emily will never forget your stories! Your name, Tia Marcella, will always bring a smile to her face! She will always remember your under the mattress story.
You have always remembered us and had pictures of us and would be so proud to show us your display of family photos during our visits. You will be greatly missed!


💞💕💞💕💞TIA MARI💞💕💞💕💞
Love is stronger than death, even though it can't stop death from happening....no matter how hard death tries. Death can't separate people from L💞ve!!!

Tia, I will make sure to remind Kristen about the money she borrowed from you to buy the boots at the garage sale. I loved you taking us to garage sales growing up. 
Love you always - Virginia

Tia I love you with all my heart and remember all the times you were with me especially on our trip to Florida. Thank you for all the knowledge you have shared with me throughout your years. I know your in a better place now and hope to see you soon if I can change my ways. Love you always Larry 

Tia,
God looked around his garden and found an empty place he then looked down upon the Earth and saw your tired face....He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest with the help of his angels. They flew you to your heavenly place. - Love you always (by Melissa Shreve)

Revelation 14:13
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

Loved you yesterday, Love you still! I always have 💞💞 I always will - For ever your dear niece Virginia Fuentes-Castillo

Mom, 
Thank you for everything you have done for me. You will always be in my heart & those beautiful memories we had together. I love you. 

My greatest memories of My Queen are of us singing and dancing. 🎤💃🎤💃. Our favorite song was (Querida) from Juan Gabriel. I remember singing it when I was a little girl.  It seemed as your motherly 👩‍👧👩‍👧intuitions was always on point! You knew when I was going through certain things and you would call me, and the moment  I said *yes mam, you sang (Querida) out loud making me laugh 🤣🤣and than ask me what was wrong.  I would pour my heart out to her. She always knew how to guide me even if I didn't agree with her. Although she was ALWAYS RIGHT!  I'm sad that you are no longer her we us but happy that your with my son  Angel.  Give him a big hug and kiss from me and tell him that I love and miss him. 
I will forever miss your guidance,  spunky attitude,  knowledge  and most importantly your love ❤❤❤. 

YOU WILL FOREVER AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY QUEEN!! 

LOVE YOU MOMMY,
             GRACIE

To My Queen,
My greatest memories are of us always singing and dancing. Our favorite song was (QUERIDA) from Juan Gabriel,  you know the right moment to call me and the moment I said *yes mam, you sang the song out loud!! 😀😀  Your motherly  intuitions kicked in and  you knew I had something going on at that particular time. 👩‍👧👩‍👧👩‍👧❤❤💋💋 I will miss your knowledge, spunky attitude,  laughter, guidance, and most of all your love❤❤❤ You will FOREVER BE MY QUEEN LOVE YOU MOMMY,
        GRACIE

You have always been a force to be reckoned with from day one.  Your strength for your kids was constant...you never gave up no matter the situation.  My childhood was spent staying with Gracie at your house...we would go to the park daily. We always knew once the street lights came on we better be home because you didn't play games ha ha ha!I loved the weekends because I knew you would push my mom and grandma to go with you to the White Elephant. I knew eventually I would get a small toy out of the trip. You always tried to do things, even the smallest things to show people you cared & to make them feel loved & never forgotten.  I know you did that for my sister growing up & till your last days you continued to do it for my brother. The one thing you always told me was family is important.  You said you have all this family & you may not even know them yet. You always gave words of encouragement and you never tried to judge even when everyone else did. I wanted to be selfish & have you stay here with all of us...but I knew you were ready to rest. I'll love you always & never forget what a bright light you shined as my loud, funny, crazy tia! I can still hear you singing in my head Jermiah was a bullfrog 🎵🎶
Love you always Tia 😘

Marcella- I can't help but smile on the inside when I think about the legacy you have left behind.  You taught a lot to your children and  your grandchildren how to overcome obstacles in life and come out shining.  I think about all the generations that have been and will be blessed by the life  you have lived. Your passing will leave a huge void in your family. I know that you were the sun and everyone rallied around you always.  I know the only consolation your family has is that you have joined our Savior and have been reunited with all of your loved ones that have gone before you. I know you are looking down at your family and will take care of each and everyone of them.  Although i didn't see you very often it was a pleasure meeting you.  Rest Easy.  Hugs to all your children & grandchildren. <3

Tia...
The last time I saw you in person, I believe it was 22 years ago. Even though I did not grow up around you, my memories of you are very clear...it was like "yesterday!" I remembered you as the "crazy" Tia! You were always loud, always dancing & always having fun. Another thing I remember you by was when you would whoop Gracie & Teresa's butt, I would hide from you so you wouldn't whoop me for laughing* 
I'm so happy I got to see you one last time, Tia! Even though it was not in person, I'm so happy it happened. It hurt so bad because I had this clear memory of what you had looked like from 22 years ago in my head, but a few days ago, you were confined to a bed and very sick...beyond recognition. It really broke my heart to see you like that* Whether I grew up close to you or not, it's irrelevant because in the end, you are still a part of my family. My heart also breaks for everyone else because I see how much they are devastated because they lost you.
You told me that you made your peace with God, so it made things easier to accept....one day, Tia, we will see each other again and we will never be apart again :) We will ALL be together and celebrate an everlasting life in harmony...me, you, grandma & grandpa...and EVERYONE else!!
I love you and I miss you dearly*

Rest now your work on Earth is finished and you have created a beautiful legacy.

We love you Tia Mari!! You will forever be missed but never forgotten. You were a strong woman with a lot of responsibility on your own. Not sure how you did it but you DAMN SURE overcame any obstacle to take care of my cousins. You always wondered and asked how I was doing. Thank you for always looking out for me. We love you and ALREADY MISS YOU!!!!

I love you mom!! I will miss you dearly but I know that you were tired and ready to meet our Heavenly father. I will cherish every memory we have together! You showed us all how to overcome struggles in life and keep moving forward! We carry the strength you have instilled in us so we may always carry a part of you with us!! I can't wait for the day to come when I will be able to have a big hug and kiss from you in eternal life!! Love you always and forever your daughter Teresa!!🤗😘😘😍😇😇👼👭❤❤❤
