My dear cousins,  I am so sorry for your loss.  Your mother was a kind and beautiful person who touched so many lives, especially mine and my siblings.  I hope and pray for you to get through this difficult time.  I am also praying for Tita, whom I loved and will greatly miss.

We would like to express our deepest condolences to the Mejia/Cavazos family on the loss of your beloved mother. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of sorrow.

To the Cavazos girls, 
Although the time I was given to get to know your mother was short, she made a significant impact on me.  I will miss her and her sweet smile.  The love between you girls and your mother was a wonderful thing to see.  You all took great care of her. I'm very sorry about your loss.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all in your time of sorrow.  May you find comfort and strength in this difficult time.  Again, my deepest condolences.

My condolences to the Family,

I met Ms.Cavazos about ten years ago through H&R Block. And every year I enjoyed her visit we would talk about what she had done during the year about her family and her health.
I'm going to miss her visits.
God Bless Her

Mary and I were classmates, cousins and friends all our lives.  I lost track of her for a few years, however I met up with her in Panama in the early seventies.  We stayed in touch ever since.  A unique person, my family and I will greatly miss her.  My deepest condolences to all her daughters and Pete on your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

To the family, 

You have my deepest sympathy and heartfelt wishes for comfort. I have the greatest respect for the relationship you had with her and admiration for the love and kindness exchanged between you. She was lovely and charming and will surely be missed by many. May God be with you.

To the daughters, family and friends of Maria Cavazos- my deepest condolences to each of you.

Cynthia I`ve know you and your family for so long, that when I heard the news I needed a moment to myself.  May you and your entire family remember and celebrate all the wonderful memories. We are strong women, but its hard to say goodbye to a mother, May God give you strengh, peace and comfort.

Love you XOXOXOXOX  Liz Carrillo

I have many fond memories of celebrating holidays and picnicing with your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Your mother was a wonderful person and will be dearly missed by everyone that knew her.

Belinda, Cynthia, June, Robina & Sonia,
Girls you were so very blessed to have Tita as your mother, just as she was to have each one of you.  She was so very proud of each and everyone of you and loved you dearly.  Your husbands the four of you that were married were the sons she never had.  
Tita was a very special person, my cousin, a beautiful person inside and out.  She opened her doors and welcomed so many people to her home, and made us feel so comfortable.  I will miss our conversations at the table after eating a meal, we would spend hours talking and laughing.  
Always and forever carry all the great memories and stay together caring for one another. There is no greater bond as that between a mother and her daughters.  
There are no words to express our grief, take care of each other and may the good Lord comfort you and bless each one of you and your families.
Your Cousins
Jerry & Ofelia C. Rivera, Gregory, TX

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear Mother. She always made me feel welcome whenever I was in her company, which is a great gift. May God give you comfort during this difficult time.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the death of Mrs Cavazos. My thoughts, and prayers are with the entire family. Mrs Cavazos was a very kind person, I used to enjoy having conversations with her, she was such a sweet lady! The Lord blessed us with her life. She made such a huge difference in her families lives. What a wonderful person she was! She will certainly be missed.

May the Lord bless her family during this time and always!

I love your mother very much whether it is on earth or in heaven.  She gave me a wonderful friend and lovely memories.  There are many people who get many more years with their mother but do not ever get the time that you all shared with your mom  here on earth.  The connection between mom and daughter in this family is one to strive for with our own.  I love your mom very much and thank you for allowing me to know her and her beautiful smile.  I know she is in heaven with "Chata" and they are comforting one another.

You all are in our thoughts and prayers. May happy memories fill your mind and hearts.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Oue thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Maria was a loving mother who took the time to talk about her daughters.  She would say that her girls were so very good to her.  She would say that as much as she hated to burden any of her girls, she knew that it must be our good Lord's way to help her tolerate her illness; therefore, she never complained.  She loved her sons-in-laws and of course,her true and beautiful jewels were her grandchildren.

Please know that she will be remembered by us in our prayers and that will be truly missed as a wonderful friend.

God's blessings,

Joe and Viola Sauceda

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow. But my best memories and recollections of her are of our High School years in Mercedes, Texas.., and our friendship continued when we moved to Austin in 1980.

Please know that you are in our prayers.

Suzie and Norbert Flores
