My dearest Grandma, it's with a heavy heart I write this message. I will forever cherish our memories together. From the family Christmas's making tamales. You would always sneak in some masa when no one was looking. To the bbq's, grilling your favorite costillas.
You taught us so much with your loving heart. You always put others before yourself. You would always ask "Is everyone ok". Yes grandma, we're ok knowing your at peace with our dear lord and family. I love you and miss you.

Mom received me into her home and heart on December of 1972. She was very attentive to me and we enjoyed our time together. I remember her as a great homemaker... a very clean house and delicious meals. After I learned how to drive in the "big city" we would take rides and venture out in our convertible! Oh! and One of the places she wanted us to go to was to the Copper Penny, a hamburger place on Shepherd. Mom and I sent loving greetings to each other throughout the years. And later years through Tony. Thank you, Tony! She holds a special place in my heart and memory!
Love you Mom💓!

God looked around his garden
and found an empty space ,
Then he looked down upon this earth,
And saw your tired face .
He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest .
God’s garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best !
I love you grandma! You will forever be remembered.

I have tried some many times to write how I feel but I can’t put into words the pain I am feeling. There so many beautiful memories that I have and I will always cherish. I know you are looking down on us with a big peaceful smile on your face for you have joined Uncle David, Uncle Richard, Aunt Gloria and grandpa. The day you left us you took a piece of my heart with you. Grandma, my partner in crime I will always love you. Rest In Peace Grandma. 💕

Happy Birthday, Mom!!
It is very difficult to write into words how much I will forever miss you and how grateful we were to have you as our Mom. You were always strong and determined. I will forever cherish the many stories and memories while having the privilege and honor of living with me over these past 8 years. So many lessons learned and so much you taught me as someone caring for their parent can teach. I want you to know I still have the running shoes you insisted on buying for me when you first arrived. I will retire them and always think of you. Dementia is brutal and cruel and it was heartbreaking to watch you go through the many challenges one faces with such an unforgiving illness. During the past few years you would always say, "God Bless Everyone!" and "God Bless the Children of the world!" Repeatedly. I will cherish those words. Often you would tell anyone who helped you, "I appreciate it!" And often say to me during these past few months, "Dios te va a vendicir por que me ayudas and vatayas con migo". Mom actually it was my pleasure and great honor. It was no burden. I was the lucky one! We are all blessed for having you as our mother!! I was really hoping you would make it to 97 years of age but God had other plans. You almost made it though, shy of 2 1/2 weeks!
I want you to know... we will be fine, don't worry! Oh, and I left you some butterscotch candies...your favorites!
Missing you forever and may you rest eternally in peace my beautiful beloved Momma!!!

Grandma,
It's sad to know I can never see you again. It hurts my heart but I'm overjoyed with the thought of you no longer feeling pain, hurt or loss.
I know my Dad stood by watching you be welcomed into the arms of Jesus. No more tears grandma.
Finally at home & at rest with Aunt Gloria, Uncle David, my Dad & Grandpa.
i love you.

Dear Beloved Mom.
I already miss you so much. You will forever live in our hearts.
There is so much pain in me too see you go with our good Lord.
You will always live in our hearts.
I would always tell Madre "I love you, Mom." You would answer me back "I love you too."
Half of me is gone it will never be the same without you.
Love you Madre.

Until we see each other again my beautiful beloved momma, Your daughter Sylvia

Mom had always been a stay at home Mom while Dad worked. But when Dad became ill with Diabetes and eventually blindness Mom began working. She became essentially the breadwinner of the family. And she worked. She worked hard. She had an incredible work ethic. She didn't drive but it was not a problem for her to take the Metro in Houston. At one point in 1981, she had 2 jobs!
She spent her entire life in Houston until at age 88 she moved to San Diego, CA to reside with her son Tony.
