She accepted the Lord as an adult and she was always praying for her family, she attended Bethany Chapel for many years and most recently Crossroads. Mom loved her grandbabies, and enjoyed dancing, dogs, reading, and watching Novella's. She was quick witted even in her last days and always spoke her mind. She was a fabulous cook and we all have many memories of making tamales during the holidays, or mom coming over and rolling tortillas in our kitchens.
The family would like to thank her dear friends Lynn and Victoria for their endless friendship.
Thank you to Sylvia and Edmildo Ramos for opening their home, love, and care to mom.
A very special Thank you to Erica Ramos Thomas who was mom's caregiver, Erica you did more than anyone could have asked for: endless doctors, ER trips, shopping, kept track of all medications and appointments, most importantly you always treated your grandma with love, patience, dignity and respect.
