My Tia Rosa was an amazing woman, and a loving mother  to Roy her only son, who she loves  greatly. She had the biggest heart, the biggest hugs. Always an open ear to listen to your worries and great advice when you needed it.  She loved to play pranks or  scare you,  she scared me a lot and it made her happy. So I would let her.  Ever since I was little she would tell me to cut my hair, how pretty I'd look in short hair. I have alot of hair it's wild with crazy curls; one time I found a wig with short hair  in grandmas boxes. Well I put that wig on and she said take it off. I said this is how short hair looks on me, thought you would like it.  I'm wearing it all day, and I did she followed me around all day trying to catch me  off guard to snatch it off my head. I'd laugh and run and she would laugh. It was a fun day for both of us. At the end of the day she said she would never ask me to cut my hair, because I looked awful we laughed a lot that day. My tia was always doing something  with her coffe cup nearby, cooking, cleaning, doing errands. I still  dont know how she could talk for hours on the phone with my mom,  everyday. When they were together they laughed and giggled like two little girls. My tia always had a gordita for me. I've tried to make them like her but it's the love she put into everything she did that made them taste great. My biggest regret is not returning to Texas to live with her after grandma died. I was feeling bad about not being able to attend her services but she came to me in a dream and told me she's already gone, she's not there, it's ok mija.   I Love you Tia Rosa . Rest in Peace.

She was a very happy lady always had a smile on her face always made everyone feel Comfortable and welcomed she will forever be missed she was very funny at times rest in peace !

I am Adriana's (Oralia's oldest daughter) oldest daughter. I have some great memories of tia Rosa as a child. My favorite memory is a few days before my 18th birthday we went with my grandma Oralia to visit, they were discussing going to Mexico while we were there. I was excited and wanted to go, but my grandma and tia Rosa said I could not go across the border. They started laughing, and I was like why? 
My uncle Jess translated for me that they were laughing because if I went then I couldn't come back, they would keep me in Mexico. 
As an adult it was then that I realized because of course I didn't have a passport or California ID at the time. But still to this day and many times as an adult I have this memory of my grandma and tia Rosa laughing so hard in this moment. 

I am honored to have met her and known her the few times that I got to see her. She was a very happy person, and very generous making deliciousmeals.  May she rest in peace.  Til we meet again I am sure she will remember the same memory and we can laugh together, again. 

Prayersfof strength at this time for all the family as we remember Tia Rosa. 💖
