Hermana Dali,

La extraño mucho.  Aun recuerdo el primer día que la conocí en un Starbucks, como que todo el mundo, hasta el barista, paro de hacer lo que hacia para prestar atención quien entraba en ese momento, y era usted.  Mi vida nunca volvió a ser igual.  Compartimos risas y lagrimas, celebraciones, comidas, parques, peliculas,y hasta películas en el parque!! jajaja... siempre con su lil' Nelson de un lado para el otro.  Yo se, porque me consta, que definitivamente su prioridad era proveer paz y diversion para todos sus nietos e hijos/hijas.

Me ha tomado mucho tiempo, escribirle estas palabritas, porque aun no quiero creer que se nos a ido.  "Hermano, a doblar rodilla!" Esas eran sus palabras al hablarme antes de acostarse.  Recuerdo horas en oración por teléfono, suplicando por cada uno de sus hijos e hijas cuando pasaban por situaciones dificultosas.  Al igual, admiraba su fe tan grande, porque le dábamos gracias al Señor de antemano por lo bien que les iban a ir a todos en sus trabajos y educación.  Menciono esto, porque ellos deben de saber que esa fe que usted tenia, venia acompañada de horas en oración.  

Que buen modelo era usted, y espero que sus nietos recuerden cuando usted les trataba de enseñar a orar.  Espero que sus hermanas recuerden como usted cargaba su biblia al visitarlas para hablarles de Dios y leer la biblia con ellas.

Hermana, fuera de las muchas cosas bonitas que usted era, usted era un gran pilar espiritual para su familia. Usted era el ancla que se mantenía firme a Dios. Y a esto, ahora me da tristeza despedirme de usted. :(  

Extrañare sus buenos consejos, su sonrisa, sus carcajadas, y sus abrazos.  Ahora, ya no me tocara orar mas por usted, ya que me gano y se fue antes que yo, pero si continuare doblando rodilla y ahora orare por cada uno de sus hijos en mis oraciones. 

I am missing you so much, Hermana, and my family remembers you so fondly as well.  I will say one last prayer for you, as you would have requested me:

"Querido Dios, te damos honra y gloria a Ti, Dios Padre!  Gracias por la vida de mi querida Hermana, madre, hermana, abuela, y esposa, Idalia Rodriguez. Ella fue de gran bendicion a todos quien la amabamos. A ella le encantaba reir, y claro que era una reflexion de lo bondadoso que Tu eras con ella.  Gracias, por demostrarnos Tu amor atravez de ella.  Bendice, Padre, a cada uno de sus hijos en estos tiempos de tristeza.  Derrama tu Espíritu de Paz dentro de nuestros corazones, y continua alumbrando nuestros caminos, a cada uno de nosotros por quien ella oraba, cada miembro de la familia, y cualquiera que lea esta oración. Te pido en especial por Nelson, Ramon, Jesse, Titico, Ana, Yolanda, y Carmen, bendicelos cada día de sus vidas.  Cuida la salud de ellos, sus familias, sus empleos, y sus escuelas.  Tu palabra dice que Tu tienes una nueva unción todos los días, y te pido Padre Santo, que derrames una porción doble cada día, en las vidas de cada uno de ellos.  Que sepan ellos como tu estas actuando en sus vidas, y que te den gracias a Ti, Señor Jesus.  Porque Tu eres el Rey de reyes, Señor de señores, y el Todopoderoso, y yo te pido todo esto, en El Nombre de Jesus.  Amen!"

Praying for your family in this difficult time. I am so sorry for your loss and cannot imagine your pain. I do not personally know Idalia, however your family has been on my mind and in my prayers daily since your loss. (I am one of the nurses at the hospital.) I can tell your mother was a beautiful person inside and out and raised such a beautiful family.  May you find comfort in the Lord during this time.

Shocked and saddened to hear this. My deepest condolences to everyone.  Throughout middle and high school, Ms. Rodriguez showed me nothing but kindness whenever I saw her. Rest in peace.

I cant unexplained the feeling when your best friend's Mom passes away, you cant avoid the pain to which the family is suffering, we can only be the support for them to stand on...

Idalia Rodriguez you'll forever be in our hearts. Another Angel besides our father in heaven...RIP. DEP.

Idalia was such a sweet lady. She would come to visit Herb at work and she would give all of us giant hugs and great advise with her loving attitude. She is an angel watching over her beautiful family now. My prayers are with all of you. God Bless.

I know God called you and you're resting along side him. I won't tell you good bye because I know I will see you again.  I will always remember this, You got gum??? I love you Suegra!

I met you once and it was enough to know you were a great person, it even shows through your son. Farwell and keep watch over us all.

I'm going to miss you grandma with all my heart. You did so much for me. I love you!

"Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never really die"

See you in Heaven Tia <3

  Dear grandma  you've taught me so much you've also inspired me to do the right things in life for that you were the best grandma in the world and my best friend I love you so much love nayeli

Gracias por todo lo que hizo por nosotros. Nelson, las niñas, Lil Nelson y yo la extrañamos y queremos mucho. Siempre vivira en nuestro corazon. Dice Lil Nelson "te amo grandma"

May God bless your family in this difficult time .May she rest in paradise

Hey mom, 
I can't believe you're gone. Its still a big blur and I can't seem to understand God's plan for you. I still remember you calling me that morning of Novemeber 15th to ask what time was Samuel's party. I wish you would have told me you weren't coming because you had to get your hair done. I know the thought crossed your mind but I'm sure you also knew you would hear me nag. Despite my nagging mom, I know you knew how much I love you and appreciated what you did for us.  I will forever be grateful for having had that opportunity to see you, hug you and tell you I love you one more time before you left us. Although I may never understand why God took you away from us so soon I know I have to accept his will. I will miss you more than words can explain "guapa".  I love you mom, with all my heart, and I know you're looking down from up above smiling at us, with that look of satisfaction, knowing we're together just the way you always said you loved to see us. I'll see you later mom, I love you!

Que descanse en paz doña Idalia?, praying for you guys, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love you!

Love you Mom. You will always be with us. I will miss your blessings before I leave home everyday. You made me feel special every single day no matter how bad I was feeling. Best Mom ever.

We will miss you and you will always live in our hearts. Lil Nelson loves you and still waiting for you to come back home. He loves grandma and  will always remember you.

Hi Mom. It's hard to find the words to say goodbye to the woman that meant the most in the world to me. So, I won't. Instead, I'll tell you the phrase you repeated to us as kids, "See you later alligator." While you are gone, rest assured that you will be missed. l will miss your laughter, your hugs, and the shrimp cocktails you made for me. I want you to know that although there were times that we did not meet eye to eye, your voice was always in my head helping me make the best choice. I thank God for choosing me to be one of your daughters and I thank you for your words of advice and unconditional love. I will always cherish the moments we had together and look forward to the ones that will come.

May you rest in peace, tia I will always remember you.. quiero que sepa que la quiero mucho y que aunque no estoy ahi presente sabe que estoy de corazon.. Nos a dejado un enorme vasio en el corazon...  Love you tia and will always miss you!!!!

Hi Mom, my heart is saddend to know that I will no longer be able to see you, hear you or put my arms around you. There are no words that can express the hurt and emptiness left in my heart.  I love you with all my heart, and I know that you'll always be here, in spirit, looking over all of us. We love you mom! You were the best grandma my kids could ask for, they too will miss you. God needed an angel and he choose you, because he needed the best of the best!

To Idalia you were a great friend a sweet person with a great heart you were there for me through the good and bad you always will be in my heart I loved you like you were family i remember the good old days we had working together in bp Amaco I enjoyed your jokes and your smile you are and always will be an angel god bless you and hope you become my guardian angel you watch over me and your beautiful family love you always Ivan Munoz. Mr Newyork Me and my daughter wanted to see you but sorry that you had to go so soon.

Le doy gracias a  Dios por haberla conocido..Usted era una gran persona. No tengo más que bonitos recuerdos en mi memoria. Gracias por siempre darme consejos cuando mas lo necite. Es triste saber que ya no la voy a ver ni recibir ni una llamada suya. Estos días han sido muy difíciles. Pero solo Dios sabe porque se la llevo. Siempre la tendré en mi corazón.  Descanse en paz

I miss you so much beautiful. I wish I can go back in time to wrap my arms around you and never let go. I love you grandma, and I will always carry you in my heart. Rest in peace beautiful angel

If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me Place them in my grandmas arms And tell her they're from me. Tell her I love her and miss her And when she turns to smile place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for awhile.... tqm grandma

Hey mom,
I just listened to your voicemail again. I can't believe that's the only way I'll ever hear your voice again. I wish I had a chance to see you before you left. I know I need to be strong, but it's really hard right now. The last time we talked I was jogging, and you mentioned how "aproud" you were of me, even though I didn't do anything. But that's just the person you were, you would always encourage me to do good and be a good person. You always had more faith in me than I had in myself. I know it's going to be hard to keep going without you, but I'lll use the faith you put in me as my source of strength to keep going. It's going to be hard to not have you to turn to when I feel defeated. I'm going to miss hearing you laugh, hearing you nag me about cleaning, hearing your words of encouragement, hearing your blessings, pinching my cheeks until it drove me crazy! The more I think about you the more I think about all the small things that defined your beautiful character. I love you so much mom and I miss you more than words can describe. It's funny, I always made jokes about how drawn out your goodbyes were, but now I just wish I could hear one that didn't end. You'll always be in my heart, I-Money, and I'll keep trying to make you "aproud."

I am sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during these difficult times.
