This is hard for me to take.i had bo idea. Rosa we met 1979 NationalCity jr high. I always saw her helping with the lunch line. Next we became friends .then  stuck together like glue.everything we did was special tu us.we never argued. Our love is bonded in our own way. We keot the respect of the family. We did not cross that line. Our first dance at National Roger  drove by the front of the school saw me standing outside. Without a word he picked her uo & brought her to me.way cool. The nights we went with Oscar & Amelia in Oscars monte carlo driving up & down highland.nights like no other. She went to all my games at kimball . Our first date was at this pizza place i remember every word she spoke and exactly what she wore..from that day on i knew just then that i would love her forever more. I cant forget how everyday i walked from moms house to hers. We saw each other on the porch for a year until i proved my true intentions and as it it would be.i earned the trust of the family and was blessed to be excepted and  i thank the family i miss you all at times i can  imagine how must feel  . The same but more on me  we did everything together we were there for each other. Even when apart.our relationship was like no other to be compaired. I remember every single day for those 5 1/2 years together.if you want to know about one. All you need to do is ask and  with a smile my  thoughts will shine all for her above the sun.  Rosa  no one could ever mess us up. Oh it was tried remember but we would never let that be. We were tight  and i must say we are still to this day.i love you Baby.  I wish i could go back ro the days ww sat in kimball park at the stadium. Something very special. Touch ne if you can my love.now all this is hitting me pretty damm hard. Mt number for those that care to reach out 619 418 9486 Norman that photo our last Sweethearts ball SUHI. 1984 i love you Rosa forever  baby i know your with God. 

Thank you for all my wonderful childhood memories. I could always count on you to pick me and Ivonne up on weekends. You always did whatever we wanted from pizza, playing in your pool, Nintendo, happy meals and going to the movies. I remember you always bought us new clothes and would change us in the parking lot, because she wanted to see how we would look in our new outfits. You were and still are the coolest Tia. I also remember you taking me to my pop warner games whenever my parents were tied up or had to be at another field at a different time. You were always there during my childhood and teen years. You were always there at Pop Warner, high school and SWC games, cheering me on and asking " Hey Dora, how do you feel". I would get so embarrassed but you did it anyways lol Thank you for all the wonderful memories. I have much comfort knowing you're in a safe place where I know I will see you again. I pray that when my time comes, you will be there to help bring me home.  I miss you so very much. P/s I promise to put shoes on Savannah lol and all my future children.

Toti,  are hearts are filled with sadness, we will miss your warm smiles, contagious laughter, and caring heart.  Cuco, Angelina, Tía Mary  and family  may you find some comfort in the beautiful memories Toti leaves in your hearts.


Nina Toty,  I just can't believe this is my new reality. We all can't.
I hope these words get to you some how. I will miss you and your contagious laugh. Sundays and holidays will never be the same. You came every Sunday, you would honk your horn and we will all run out to greet you. You spoiled all of us with munchies, taking us out to eat and even at times buying us a new wardrobe of clothes. To sharing all the chismes with us and telling us all the epic stories when we were around grandmas table. I really wish you can tell us one more epic story or even sing a little nursery song/cheer that you would sing. You left a huge mark on my heart and that I am truly grateful. You were the glue to the family and I promise i'll try to be the same. Thank you for all you did for me and i'll cherish all the memories I had with you. It's okay, you rest easy now. 
I love you Nina Toty. xoxo

Tia Toty, I never thought we’d have to say goodbye like this. You truly were such a funny, loving, and generous person. I’m so thankful for all the laughs I had with you. From always being there to capture the memories on camera to picking us up from nights out with Angelina, I always appreciated your kindness. Thank you for sharing stories about your family that I had never heard before. Marco, Antonio, and I love you and will miss you so much.🤍 

Words cannot express my sadness for your loss. Rosa was so full of joy and happiness! She was such a great sister-in law. My prayers are with you Cuco and all the Tapia family. Rest in glory "Toters" Love you always!



Tia toty, I dont even know what to say this doesn't even seem real. Thank you for the laughs and for always being there to help create a memory with all your pictures. You were all of our biggest supporter and always at every family function,event or fundraiser. Our huge family will never be the same without you ! Love you so much tia toty we will miss you dearly, Isaac was just telling me how everytime he sees you you would yell ISAAC!! And when he would say what you would say o hi!

Thank for being such a caring loving kindhearted person to me and my kids.  Love you my Rosey I will miss you sooo much!

Compadre Cuco & Angelina,

We will always cherish the fun times we had with Rosa & family. How my comadre was always such a giving & loving person.  I'll always remember how Rosa helped take care of my girls since they were little.  She loved them so much as her own. We are going to miss her. We will always be here for you Cuco & Angelina, were just a phone call away. We Love You. 

Love Nelda & Louie Ortiz & Family 

Just wanted to share a few pictures of special memories.

My little sister, Toty I will miss you so much. We had some fun times.  We shared many laughs. So many times you had me rolling on the floor laughing.  I’ll always remember the two years that you and I shared the bedroom together at mom’s house before I got married. Boy, did we have some laughs and fights too. 

Thank you for being a great Godmother to my first born, Rudy.  You were always there for him especially when he joined the Marine Corps. 

Thank you for listening to me when I needed a shoulder to lean on. I am going to miss you more than words can express. I will hold all my memories of you in in heart and mind.  

I will see you again someday my funny, caring, sweet little sister.  Please continue to care for us from up above and send us little reminders from Heaven. I’ll be looking for them. 

I love you! 

God Bless you sister-in-law in law! You were one of the very first ones to welcome me into the family.  Your heart was as big as all out doors! You LOVED children!  Your passing has left a gaping hole in everyone’s life.  Like every one I am sad that I will not see you again, I pray for strength 🙏🏽.  Rest well Rosa Nos  vemos mas tarde!! 

My Tia Toti had a very big heart and was incredibly sweet. She took the time to get to know everyone and their business 😂 She went to nearly every social event and knew family members I had no clue existed.  People like her do not come into your life often. 

I was lucky enough to video chat with you on the last day of your life, my trip has been booked to attend your funeral, still I cannot believe you are really gone. Thank you for being there when I needed you most. I'll be forever greatful for all of the memories we shared, the serious talks and our girl time. Rest in peace Tia.

It’s Christmas Eve, our first without you, Toty.  The holidays will never be the same without you. You were the definition of a little sister. Growing up you were funny, annoying, loving, caring and yes, a brat and you never changed.  Your silliness and annoyance continued as an adult, but your love and care for others only grew as our family grew.  You always demonstrated love for each of us as well as for our children and grandchildren.  You enjoyed living life and made sure others did as well.  Your generosity extended beyond hugs and love. You always made sure every kid had a gift and anyone who could not afford to participate in any event, you ensured it was not for lack of funds.  You were responsible for so many family get togethers at Mom’s, the beach, park or camping.  For you, it was “the more the merrier.”  You had such a huge heart, a heart filled with love for family and life.  

Looking through your Facebook photos just shows how much you enjoyed the company of others and to you the person’s social status didn’t matter.  You showed everyone the same respect and affection.  

I have so many fond memories of our childhood and as adults, time we spent at my house, the beach, park and camping.  Thank you for keeping our family together and encouraging get togethers and for all the love and care you gave my children and grandchildren.  Thank you for all the photos you took the time to take. Thanks to you I have tons of pictures of my kids. Thank you for all the support you gave my kids from the stands during sporting events.  They may have never told you, but I know it meant so much to see you in the stands. You made them feel so special. For the Charger game memories and for being a part of our family, thank you! 

You never expected anything in return for all the love and generosity you gave everyone.  Seeing people happy and making people laugh was enough for you. 

I will miss you for the rest of my life. Until we meet again, Rest In Peace.  

My memories of my beautiful friend Rosa start at Central Elementary kindergarten National City Jr and Sweetwater High. Rosa was always the sweetest, nicest with a great smile and laughter. Rosa was  always very friendly and helpful at school. We always greeted each other with a hug and enjoyed going to the Red Devils football games to cheer for our school. After graduation we lost contact but as Facebook does reconnected us and she remained the same beautiful Rosa I always knew. We stayed in contact and had a blast at our Sweetwater High School reunion. May your lovely soul rest well. I will miss you. Love  you my dear friend. 
My heartfelt condolences to the Tapia-Flores Family. May Our Dear Lord keep you in his comforting arms during your difficult time.🙏🏽💔😘🕊

My prayers and heartfelt condolences go out to the Tapia and Flores family.  

I've known Rosa since the 5th grade.  We went to Central School together. We lived on the same street growing up in National City. She always had an upbeat personality, great sense of humor and I'll always remember her laugh.  She always asked how I was and how my family was doing.  We also worked for the Government for over 35 years and in the last few years we chatted about retiring. I'll miss chatting with you Rosa. I'll miss our friendship. May you look over your family and friends from above and rest in eternal peace.   

Thank you Rosa for those memorable days working together in Old Town. I had the best cubical neighbor and we shared so many good memories together and I will always remember those good old days. It's hard to believe that you're gone. I will miss you dearly <3 You will always be in our hearts. 

I so remember your infectious  laugh, sweet smile as a young girl growing up with my boys. You always were kind, and considerate. We had some fun times playing ball games in the street. You were such a positive and big part of some many lives. I'm sorry you had to leave this earth so soon. You will be remembered by many.  Thank you for the memories I have.

Our sincere condolences to Rosa's family and friends. I will always remember Rosa’s beautiful smile, how she always made me laugh and her caring personality. Rest in peace my dear friend. You will always be loved. Until we meet again. 

My sincere condolences & sympathy to all the Flores & Tapia family.  Rosa my cousin, who always had a smile on her face & a laugh that would make you laugh.  She will be so so missed.  There are no words, hearts are broken.  But another Angel in heaven to look over her family.  Love & hugs to you all.

Our sincere condolences to the Flores and Tapia families. I am still in disbelief. 
Rosa you were more then a friend you were the sister I never had. I have so many memories that will forever live in my heart.  We were supposed to grow old together and get kicked out of nursing homes. That was our joke. Will miss your smile, jokes and your  loving heart. My life will never be the same. You took a piece of my ❤️ with you. You are now an Angel in God’s Kingdom. Spread your wings and fly. Forever in my ❤️ heart. Until we met again.  Pila

May your soul be at peace and may God bless your beautiful family and friends.  ❤
