Gus, Kem, & Pablo,
  Our heartfelt condolences to each of you and your entire familia.  I still recall our many discussions about Ms Emma and all the support you provided for her on a weekly basis and many times over it was daily as well. 
Not too many people are aware of the timeless effort you provided her... I assure you Ms Emma was very grateful for having such a caring son to rely on for so many years.
"When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. May you treasure all your memories of your Mom".  
Our prayers are with you.  Love y'll.

Sweet words from my Tia Olga.  She reached out to my Grandmother to admire her strength and thought of her in such a special way. To read it now in our time of pain is such a blessing. Love you family. 

Frenchie (Amiga had good and bad times more good times then sad times thank you for your friendship always there for me and my family gone but not forgotten god bless you and yours)

Gus and Marina, your mom was like a sister to me.  Growing up together in El Paso we  shared many tears, laughter and good times. Our friendship was so dear to me.  Losing my best friend is hard to believe.  I will always cherish the beautiful memories. I hope you and Gus know I will always have you in my thoughts. I wish I could be there with the two of you. Sending you big hugs. 
Love you, Lilly. 

My Deepest Sympathy for your loss, I will always remember Frenchie as a happy and fun loving person who lived life to the fullest. Let’s not forget crazy and wild. She was always fun to be around. Praying you find peace during this difficult time. 

Gus and Marina.  I'm so sorry to hear of Emma's passing.  So many good memories growing up in the neighborhood.  I think Emma was every kids Mom in the neighborhood.  I know she always took me in like one of her own.  I'll never forget that.  

I'm sure she's up there pulling Martin's ears and telling him to settle down.

God Bless you and your families.      

To all her Family: May the love of our God the Lord be with you on these moments of sorrow. Our Lord knows when we are hurting and it's then that He draws closer to us. We may not feel His presence but He always keep His promise He is always there with us especially for you now so you  feel the gentle comfort of His Healing touch. May God our Lord bless you all. Love Maria and Arturo Rivera🙏

We extend our most heartfelt condolences and prayers to the family during this difficult time.  May the memories you've shared comfort you and bring you peace, always. - Shane Jacob & Amanda Tesch

Tia,
You were such a special lady. You had the best sense of humor, always had the family cracking up. You were caring and always looked out for others. One of the things I most admired, was your love for your family. It was inspirational. Thank you Tia for the wonderful memories, laughs and good times. Thank you for being so sweet to my Natalie.  As my brother said, thank you Tia for being there after our Mom passed. I feel as him, these last few years without her, you and Tia Edna have provided us a sense of comfort and love even if we did not see you in person. You are a part of my Mom and we are a part of you, a Family. I love you Tia.  - Gilly boy. 

My Tia,
I will miss you so much. It was you that made it especially fun for All of us with your great smile and humor whenever we got together. Growing up...You showed me that it’s okay...in fact wonderful.. to enjoy life to its fullest. That was comforting. And you were comforting to me, Gil and Veronica when my mom and your beloved sister passed away. You made me feel special.  I’m so grateful for you and my Tia Edna because you two are a part of my mom that’s here. But now we can let you pass from here and be eternally happy. I know how truly special it is for you in heaven to reunite with those loved ones you missed so terribly much while here on Earth. Goodbye my beautiful and fun loving tia. I’ll miss you, thanks for teaching me about life and being the Aunt everyone would want. Say hi to Mom, and Sam..Grandma Elva and Grandpa George. I love you my Tia. 

Tia Emma, 
I will never forget the great things you have done for me and the family. When my grandparents moved to Denison and I wanted to stay in El Paso, you took me in for a semester to let me enjoy some more time with my friends at Burges HS. I am forever grateful for that. You will be missed by everyone as you were such a happy and fun loving person. You were the life of the party at get togethers. 
Say hi to my Granda Olga and everyone else for me. 
Love Gene. 

My prayers are with all the family, as,we say so long to my tia.  I will always remember her laugh and beautiful smile. She had a great sense of humor and was always ready to help anyone. She always made people feel at home when they were around her. She was very down to earth and a people person,  she loved everyone and I respected that about her. The only thing I respected more about her was her love for Our Lord.  My tia showed me how to put my trust in God and that no matter how bad things may seem God's plan for us always prevail.  I love you tia Emma!

Ms Emma, 
We will cherish the moments we spent with you.  We definitely enjoyed the shrimp cocktails, the drinks, and the laughs.  We can say you lived your life as you wished and wanted.  Now, God has called you home.  May you Rest In Peace!  
Love you, Dan and Melinda Vega y familia

We are sorry to hear about your loss and extend our deepest sympathy. We hope that all of her family and friends can find peace during this troubling time. -Matt, Tracee, and Skylar Finnell
