I remember my first visit to California years ago and meeting Granny for the first time. That year and every year after I wasn't allowed to come into the house without first giving her a hug. She was grandmother to me in many ways especially after I lost my own and my heart hurts to have lost you so soon. Your life was full and blessed and I know you had no shortness of love to spare. We all will love and miss you but I know you'll be waiting to give everyone a hug again. 

If I was able to stand at the pearly gates of heaven to speak to Saint Peter on my sister Erma’s behalf, I would say that my sister has a huge heart with an overflowing abundance of love for family and friends. I know it was never for her to say no for any help that was requested, be our mother/father, sisters, brothers, and her beautiful daughter and family. Just like her heart, the door to her home was always open. A heart that kept on giving until it didn’t. R.I.P.

I'm so blessed to have had you in my life your beautiful smile will be missed.  I will never forget you having me over for the summer back in my teens.  Your wonderful meals and desserts were the best.  I remember watching The Champ with all of you and we had tears in our eyes ( we all laughed at each other).  Tia rest in peace give my mom and dad a hug from me.  To Tio Lupe and Carmen my prayers are with you ❤️🙏love you.

My mom had such a good time when we went to the Outback and she really enjoyed her Margarita. Her smile lit up a room and will forever be in my heart. I LOVE YOU MOM. 💕
