Mrs. Alma was such a caring and thoughtful person. She was so kind to me and guided me and supported me in my first year teaching. I will never forget the confidence and guidance that she gave me. Even though I did not know her a long period of time, we developed a friendship.I will miss her deeply. She had a motherly way of supporting and teaching our students. Mrs.Alma had such a kind soul we will remember her always. She left such a footprint in our lives and I'm grateful for the time I got to spend it her.

Alma,
You were a joy to work with and an honor to work for. I was only a sub at your school but you were one of my favorites. My heart is heavy knowing that I won't even be running into you at Trader Joe's anymore, but that's me being selfish. 
Enjoy your flight with the angels You Beautiful Soul.
Love always,
Ms. Ellen

Alma was one of the kindest and compassionate people I've known. She loved the children and work she & her coworkers did every day. She was calm, she was smart, and I remember when she smiled or laughed, her joy lit up the room. I have great respect for her. These are things I will always remember as her co-worker and her friend for over 10 years. God bless her. My condolences to the family she loved so much.
Sincerely,

This picture I took of Alma not only captured her beauty & strength but also her bright spirit of love,joy & peace .💖

Alma, your presence was a beacon of warmth and kindness, a testament to the beauty of the human spirit. You had an unparalleled gift for making each person feel seen, valued, and cherished. Through your gentle words and compassionate deeds, you transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary.

You made me a better version of myself. Your unwavering belief in my potential, your patient guidance, and your boundless love inspired me to reach heights I never imagined. In your eyes, I found the courage to grow and the strength to overcome. Your legacy is a part of who I am, and I carry it with pride and gratitude.

You treated all little ones with a rare blend of respect, dignity, love, and compassion. To you, each child was a universe of possibilities, deserving of every ounce of kindness and care. Your ability to connect with them, to nurture their spirits, and to make them feel important is a testament to your profound humanity. The seeds of love you planted in their hearts will continue to bloom for generations to come.

My love for you is immense, a boundless sea that knows no end. The grief I feel in your absence is equally vast, a testament to the depth of the connection we shared. Yet, even in this sorrow, I find solace in the memories of your laughter, your wisdom, and your unwavering love.

Alma, you were a gift to this world, a shining example of what it means to live with an open heart. Though you are no longer here with us, your spirit lives on in the countless lives you touched. Your legacy of love, respect, and compassion will forever be a guiding light.

With all my love and all my grief, I honor you.

Dearest sister, you were taken from us too soon and we feel your physical absence like an empty hole in our hearts. But the  living memory of your unconditional love and your righteous legacy will slowly heal the sting of your physical loss. I will forever cherish your memory as I raise your niece, baby Alma Valverde, your namesake, the little angel that you dreamt of and loved before she was ever born. I will never forget your constant support, your wisdom, your kindness and the unconditional love you showed me as you welcomed me into your family. I truly believe that your presence in our lives has laid out a foundation for a brighter future for baby Alma and our family. You are missed and so so loved but we will be reunited in heaven one day, so please continue to watch over us until then. Thank you for believing in me, thank you for trusting me to be a part of your final days, it's been an absolute honor to know you and to call you my sweet  sister. 💕

To the family,

My sincerest condolences on your most unfortunate loss. Please know she was a great human being. She always said good morning and have a nice day to all. She was a very positive person. People like her will never be forgotten and most certainly loved forever.

My best wishes for the family.

Respectfully
