It seems like only yesterday we were sharing the fun and laughter of our youth.  Thank you for those wonderful memories.  Your in my daily prayers with much love.  May the Lord our God through the infinite mercy of our Lord, Jesus, bring you safely to an eternal rest with Him.   With much, much love Ruben, Olga  and all the Diaz family.

A Sister; a Friend: an Advisor and dearly LOVED.  
With loving memories and prayers each day and every day.
Ruben

I was blessed to marry into Gloria’s family! Her ready smile and big hugs were the welcome I always received, followed with Virgil making his magical pot of coffee💟 after which we would visit and catch up. I so enjoyed when there was time to spend the morning with her at her booth at the flea market. Watching Gloria interact with visitors at her booth, many returning visitors who I’m sure enjoyed buying her treasures, but mostly treasuring their friendship with her. I never knew her to meet a stranger!
Her heart was big, her spirit was kind, her smile genuine, she was humble.  She’s home now, at peace, joy filled, welcomed by Christ to eternal happiness with God. 🤍
My heartfelt ❤️condolences to Virgil, Sabrina, Dyanna, David, Thomas, Herbert, Ruben, all her family❣️and friends❣️

I love you grandma, mason and I will always love you. 

I will miss you my dear sweet sister.  I only wish we had lived closer so we could have visited more.    I think we were two very lucky women to have found the two best brothers to be our husbands and soul  mates.  Now it is Don's and your job to look after Virgil and me from Heaven and then be waiting with the Lord for us at the Gate when our time is up.  I love you very much and  you will be  forever in my heart.     Ruth  ( Tootsie )    




My deepest condolences to Uncle Virgil and to my cousins David(Dolores), Dyanna, and Sabrina and all the family. You have been in my thoughts and prayers over these last months. I think about Aunt Gloria and smile with the fond memories I have of her. Abeautiful woman that she was. Hearing her laughter as we listened to my father tell stories. Seeing those dimples of hers. 😊❤️ I like to hear her talk with her Texas twang. I looked forward to visits with her and getting to know the sister my father loved dearly  .  I continue to keep each of you in my prayers. With much love, Elizabeth.  

What did it mean to have such a wonderful sister,
My sister often helped find important things when lost,
… meant I always had a backup,
… in our youth one the watcher, one the dancer,
… comforting was the voice of my sister in time of sorrow,
… we had fun together even as the days became years,
… she showed respect and always had time for me,
… I love my Big sister and she loved her baby brother,
… if a sister tell her that you love her often.
God grant we meet again!
