Mom, sorry that it has taken this long to write you a note. Mom, both my heart & mind has been so clouded these past few weeks. But that is no excuse to say how both honored & thankful for being my very first best friend. You have given me the proper tools to be the best possible parent that I can be. You have given me love, kindness and comfort to pass that onto Lilliana. You were/are an amazing human being. You should us how to be respectful & mindful of others while showing us what true love is, at times showing ALL OF US TOUGH/TRUE LOVE. You came to Los Angeles with a broken heart leaving your beloved "City". You started & began new roots with your family. You opened both your heart & home to Pops family and you showed others what Family really & truly meant! Your love for your family during holidays, or simply a friendly hello by others stopping by sharing a or creating a meal or snacks for others, is simply a piece of you that you gave others-YOUR LOVE TO OTHERS!
Mom, your legacy will never fade, but rather will continue to shine & grow stronger with your grandchildren & yes great grandchildren.

I find peace knowing that you are now with God our father & the love of your life-Pop. It's obvious that the two of you could not live without each other.

BOTH LILLIANA AND I LOVE AND MISS YOU MOM!
MUCHAS GRACIAS MOM!

Carolina Gonzalez Perez went from being the "baby" of the Gonzalez siblings to the Gonzalez family "elder".  She and my father (Hector) were the closest in age and he looked after her as they grew up together until he graduated from high school (Galileo, San Francisco).  She was proud of the fact that she was a "native San Franciscan" and made certain that Phil (also a native San Franciscan) and Robert were aware of the values of her city.  My mother treasured her as a sister, there was no sister-in-law reference ever made.  And I have always been grateful for her being such a vital, treasured part of my entire life.  She was with me on the day I was born, and she left 71 years later on my birthday.  God bless you Tia...."I love you all my heart".

Tia Carol,
  You will forever be in my heart!  I remember visiting you and Tio in my early teen years.  The beautiful leatherwork from Tio and my sweet and kind cousins!  Your funny laugh, your light from within!  You embody our family's culture!   To be proud of where we come from and to love each other with all that we have.  God Bless you!  Give all of our very special loved ones a hug and kiss for us (especially my Mother and Father).  Look down and guide us.
Heaven is blessed to have you back... we are blessed to call you ours!
                                                       Besos Tia,
                                                       Sherri VanGinhoven

Carol, The family is going to miss you, and so I'm I. You meant so much to my parents, Connie and Jesus, you loved them as much as they loved you.

                                                                LOVE, 

                                                    Angie and David

Nina thank you for caring so much for me when I was entering into womanhood,  Staying with you in the summers were learning experiences for me.  You taught me how to cook some fantastic meals and how to love myself and how to have manners.  Will never forget the cocktail we would enjoy when I would visit you when I was of age to enjoy one.  Gin, ginger ale and cherry juice. Yum. Always remember you.  Thank you for keeping family together during holidays too.  So thankful for such great memories. Love you so much and this is not goodbye.  Have a dance with Nino and my daddy for me. Muah

Caroline Perez was my aunt who fills my memories with joy. Her laughter and humor was only exceeded by her kindness and generosity. She was very close to our family and when Aunt Carol and my uncle Philipe would visit we knew it would be like a holiday in our home as all of us kids loved them.
My wife Frances and I will miss her and keep her memory close to our hearts.
Richard & Frances Gonzalez
