Grade-school summer breaks are my most vivid memories of my Grandma Rosa.  It was the time to escape parental oversight and enjoy the unconditional love from our San Diego relatives, especially Grandma Rosa.  Hector and I would be cocooned between aunties in the back seat of a cerulean blue Caprice with Grandma Rosa at the wheel, sensing we were likely traveling above the speed limit, but having way too much fun to worry. Grandma Rosa had the gift of a rich voice and energetic spirit - even in her last years she would tap her foot in time with the Mexican folkloric songs of her youth.  These are the bookends of my memories of Rosa. 

And when you have reach the mountaintop, then you shall begin to sing
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then you shall truly dance.  Khalil Gibran


My dear mother was a wonderful woman, full of love, generous and funny. I am very fortunate to have an angel as a mother,  my brothers, and sister, and, I give thanks to God and the Virgen de Guadalupe,  thank for this angel we had as a mother,  mami love and I'll never forget you, you will be in my heart.

My grandmother was loving, optimistic, and vibrant every day of her life. I’m incredibly lucky to have known her, and even luckier to have had her as my grandmother. She was the most resilient woman I’ll ever know, and shaped me and the women in family to be as strong as she was. I’ll never forget all the adventures we went on while I was growing up, and I’m eternally grateful she always brought me along for the ride. I love and miss her so much, but I know Rosa is in a better place discovering America with grandpa John. 

My aunt Rosa was a beautiful person, inside and out. She was funny and sweet. I am going to miss her and her laughter. I love you Tia Rosa.

Dearest Aunt Rosa, thank you for all of the wonderful memories. A loving aunt, Godmother and role model. A matriarch that taught us the  importance of family and faith. You will be missed, and never forgotten. 

Sending our prayers for comfort to the family and knowing that Rosa was a very loving and kind hearted woman. There was never a dull encounter with Rosa and my memories will always be filled with laughter and smiles. You will be greatly missed and forever loved.

Of all my mother's sisters I knew  aunt Rosa the best.
My mom( Justina ) and Aunt Rosa were very close in my early years. 
Our families lived  close by each other a few times.
The families spend a lot of time together.
Aunt Rosa spoke English  so we were able to talk .
That really helps to get to know  each  other.
I will forever remember her with a smile or  a laugh.
Aunt Rosa will be Forever in our Hearts.
Love  and Prayers to the Family
Psalm 112; 5-6 
"  Good will come to those who are generous.........
         they will be remembered Forever"
 


I remember my Tia being warm hearted and always with a smile.  Such a beautiful soul she was. My heart goes out to her children and grandchildren 

My mother was a very special woman. She helped to make me the person that I am today. She loved the lord with an undying faith.  She had such a big heart and loved to help her family and anyone in need. We will miss her dearly but will never forget all of the good times we had with her. Love and miss you mama!
