Dear Ninfa,
I will always miss you and your amazing spirit.  When I think of the brave...I think of you.  Thank you for all you added to my life.  I hope you are getting lots of drinks of cool water.  Loved you then, love you now, will love you always.  Sue Meierding

My Dear Sweet Ninfa, I have missed you so much since you have been gone. I only got to know you for 5 years but we had a wonderful bond and so many laughs. We would just look at each other and crack up. 
I miss going to the second hand stores with you even though I don't like second hand stores and you loved them.  I miss seeing you so happy when you would take pictures of beautiful scenery. No picture was as beautiful as you-miss you so much!!

Ninfa was a wonerful,kind and caring Mother and Friend to all she had contact with.Are heart felt condolences go out to th Zamora Family.We will forever keep her memory  in our Heart.

Dear Ninfa,
You are one of the most beautifully inspiring, encouraging, spiritual, and witty human beings I have ever known ..."are" not "were" because you will always be alive in my heart because of your compassion, courage, inspiration and humor. I love you my friend.  You had an amazing ability to make  each of your friends feel like your best friend.  You spent time with us, made us laugh, soothed our tears, and encouraged each of us to trust in God during our own personal journeys. You taught us not just by your words, but by your actions...you lived your faith. You showered this special love and attention not just  on me, but on everyone.  I love you Ninfa and I will never have another friend like you, a wonderful role model.   I miss you terribly.
Always....Sue Meierding

Ninfa, Your courage was astonishing.  Our fun times at AT&T will be forever etched in my memory.  Calling me chismosa and laughing wanting to hear more dirty details.  LOL  And I was blamed for the conception of Kristy because I let you out of work early.  Another good laugh we had.   
My heart aches for your family, what a great loss and beautiful example you are of a loving, fun spirit.  
I will always remember you comforted me when I would talk to you on the phone and cry.  I should have been comforting you.  
I love you mi amiga, I bet you have the other angels up there laughing.  Deborah Tellez-Buckholtz

My prayers for comfort and deepest condolences to each and every person in the Zamora family. My heart hurts for your loss, but I hope you find a smile on your face in your memories of Ninfa. I am so very sorry.
With lots of love ~

Ninfa, a beautiful smile to light our day. I am so very thankful to have known you. Not only was I impressed with your fearless fight, what impressed me most was your selflessness. Each time I saw you, the conversation was more about what was going on with me and my kids - especially your Savannah - than what was going on about you. Rest In Peace angel. We miss you

Ninfa was one of my favorite co-workers at Shaklee for a couple of years. Always had a smile her face and took the time to check in on me to make sure I was always doing well. She was an amazing person.

She will be missed 

Best Regards,
Carlos Garcia

Ninfa, I am thankful I had you as a friend. You were a strong, amazing, beautiful and fun person. You will be greatly missed! Love you!!

You are an inspiration to everyone with your inner personal strength to fight one of the hardest challenges given to any one human being.  Your ability to always have a smile and an upbeat attitude is to be truly admired.  We will remember you and your uplifting spirit always.  May you have the happiness in heaven that you so justly deserve.  May God bless and take care of you and your family.

Ninfa, I thank you for always having your loving heart and smile and making sure as kids we were able to have sleepovers at your house with one of my best friends (Diana). I'm thankful to you that we were able to spend time with you and your family making fun ever lasting memories on trips to the beach, we always had good times. May you rest in peace and be a beautiful guiding Angel with the Lord. You will forever me missed and loved.

Rest in peace, beautiful Ninfa. We will miss your beautiful smile

You will be forever be missed by me and everyone  who ever knew you.

It is with a heavy heart that I add this sharing of love and adoration in rememberance of my beautiful Aunt Ninfa, you see lifes' circumstances had drifted us apart and it has been some time since I had enjoyed her presence. Amongst most of these heartfelt messages from my aunts dearest friends and loving family a clear and undeniable knowledge that she had a gift of empathy and compassion. She was an inspiring woman in that sense and many others. When I was much younger my father (her younger brother Javier 1956-2005) had shared his admiration of my Aunt Ninfa's way with saving and investing, always a dreamer of winning the lotto my dad would say "if I win the lotto, im going straight to Ninfa, she knows how to help me invest in the stock market", I was only around 15 or so and hadnt yet known of the stock market world. It was then that I took a new approach towards admiring mt Aunt Ninfa. I grew up in a different city (Salinas CA.) and didnt see much of her growing up but eventually our hearts and lives grew closer. A more particular event, my fathers passing. At a time when the world sounded muffled and nothing made sense, my Aunt Ninfa, out of her own heartache and pain, guided me through the soul-crushing, all-consuming heartbreak of seeing my father to final resting place. It was her voice that kept me understanding what was was taking place and a clear perception of being thankful he was no longer suffering. My Aunt is no longer suffering from this debilitating disease but what I wouldn't give to hold her and kiss her forehead and shower her with my undying love and adoration. Rest In Peace my beautiful Aunt Ninfa.

You will go out with joy, and be led out in peace. The mountains and the hills will break out into sounds of joy before you. And all the trees of the field will clap their hands (Isaiah 55:12 NLT).  {happy birthday my high school friend}

Your the strongest women, mother, friend and grandmother I have ever known. Your positive attitude was inspiring, your flirtyness with boys was hilarious, but most of all your braveness to battle cancer without a care in the world was the bravest thing a person could witness. I will miss hearing you quoting George Lopez and yelling at the kids to " BE NICE"   Take care of my babies (your grand babies) and play with them whenever you want. Happy Birthday Ninfa, you will forever live in our hearts and i will keep your memory alive with my children, they will always know everything about Grandma Lita. We love you !!!!!

Happy Birthday Ninfa.  Miss you every day

I can't express how sad I am with this news.  Every time I talked with Ninfa she brightened up my day.  She was so loving and caring.  I was so hoping she would return and we could talk.  

My condolences to all of her family and loving friends.

Happy birthday sister I love you and will miss you everyday 
Love Bev

Happy birthday sister I love you so much and will miss you everyday

Aunt Ninfa Happy Birthday!  I miss those times, and special moments when you would pull me aside. You always made me feel special. You were the strongest woman I've known. I'm just so sad. I will miss you at our family reunions you made it so enjoyabl, fun and joyous. You were our photographer too throughout the years.,  I know your spirit will be with us though. I will treasure our last moments together for a lifetime. I'm so Sorry to see your Mother leave this Earth. 
Love Always,
Joe Zamora

Ninfa - I am so thankful for your service to the Shaklee field! Keeping you and your family in my heart and prayers!

Ninfa,

I already miss your smile, wit and strength.  Watching you battle cancer with a never-ending positive attitude was a gift.  I always left you amazed at your strength and perseverance.  You have enriched my life.  It was an honor knowing you.  I have been gone from AT&T for almost 19 years and I am so happy that we managed to stay in touch all of these years.  The prayers I had for you are now going to your beautiful family.

Johana

This is so sad, she will be missed. I send her family my deepest regrets at their loss. We became friends at ATT and her mom use to sell me tamales. We actually had a good market going, I sold lots. last time I saw Ninfa, she said her mom had taken over babysitting duties and had no time for tamales... that was also a sad day.  A wonderful person, we will miss you!

Denise Lanini- Re

Ninfa, my dear sweet friend, I'm so thankful that we met more then 25 years ago and became good friends.  You were always a ray of sunshine with a beautiful smile.  You are a true warrior and I know you had a hard battle these last 8 years but you fought as hard as you could, not only for yourself but for your family, who you loved with all your heart.  You touched many lives over the years and you will be greatly missed.  You'll always be in my heart, my thoughts and my prayers.  Rest in my peace my friend.

Blessings to you, Ninfa, on your journeys.  Peace and strength to your family .  Your kind smile came to us through the telephone when you answered our Shaklee calls.  We will miss you.

OH I Am so sorry for your loss -- I was so fond of your Mother, I had been doing her taxes for close to 30 years and we always had an annual visit where she would bring me up to date on her life. Jack used to hear us laughing and come in my office to find out what was so funny.  He always told us taxes weren't supposed to be so much fun.  I am so saddened by her death. Her kids and her mother were always the most important persons in her life. She was one of the sweetest and most fun of my client-friends; we always loved seeing each other and I can remember the exact circumstances of our 1st meeting (she looked just like the beautiful picture above). We had an instant friendship starting the first time we met, goodbye my friend you fought a good fight. Thank you for fighting so hard I'm sure you gave us the pleasure of having you in our lives longer than we would have because of your hard battle with this terrible disease. We will miss you and our lives will be less without you in it but more because of the times we did have you.  You were a very strong, wonderful, funny and beautiful lady..All I have to do to bring you back is think of you because your wonderful laugh is permanently stored in my head.  I'm hearing you right now.   Rest in peace my friend. Our deepest condolences to the family.
Dee and Jack Luescher

Ninfa,
I am glad I got to know you and you will be truly missed! You are a True Warrior! You touched a lot of peoples lives and I will se you on the other side. Prayers to you and your Family.

My Dear Friend. So many memories we have.  I will miss you forever.  I love you sweetheart.  You wait for me.  I will meet you in Paris.

Reading all these comments brings tears to my eyes. We all loved you so much. You left an impression on all our lives. We are better for it. I will miss you my friend, your smile, your laughter and your presence.

Querida amiga, gracias por formar parte de mi vida en estos ultimos 6 años. Bien recuerdo el dia que nos conocimos en el support group, te acercaste a darne soporte con tu hermosa sonrisa angelical. Y asi continuamos una linda amistad. Te tendre siempre en mis recuerdos y se que te voy a extrañar.
i will miss you, but I know you are in better hands from now on.
Rest in peace my dear friend.
Always loved dear Ninfa.

Ninfa, I did not know you for long, but you touched my life. You showed me how to  embrace life no matter what touches it. You are love- you are strength- you are family- and you will be deeply missed.

You will be missed. I wish I had a chance to get to know you better. All of your work friends speak wonderful things about you. Great example of strength, courage & a good loving friend.

Ninfa, you are truly a warrior! You fought a phenomenal battle with all the grace and style that is you. We watched from a distance and participated when when we could. Always amazed at how you never lost your spirit, your drive and that beautifully warm smile. Your kind words and warm hugs gave us strength when we should have been uplifting you. You are a one of a kind, Ninfa, and your memories we will always treasure. May our lord keep you in his ever loving embrace. Until we meet again my friend.

Mama Ninfa, I remember when I first started work and sat with you for training. That ruler sure came in handy. You immediately made me feel comfortable, you were so sweet and after telling you about how I lost my mom at an early age, with your eyes welled up with tears you said you would adopt me. Ninfa, you were not only a great friend God blessed me to have in my life, but also that motherly figure I so longed for. I am going to miss that beautiful smile, that spunky attitude and also seeing you flirt with the boys at our company hehe. I am so heartbroken, but comforted that you are no longer in pain. I love you mama, You will forever be in my heart and thoughts. Until we meet again. And if you happen see my mama in heaven, let her know I miss her too...

Thinking of your family Ninfa today as you have left such a legacy of courage, hope and love!

Sweet Ninfa, I never saw you when you didn't have a smile on your face. We're all going to miss that smile. ❤

Hi beautiful sis, I miss you and love you so much, but I know you are in a better place with our brother Javier and our dad, not to mention our Heavenly Father. You are probably already working hard as you always have, I am happy that you are up there making sure everything is running smoothly. Lol . I love you sis!

Ninfa,

From the first time I met you 11 years ago you I was struck by your warmth and your smile, you always had a positive attitude about life. You will be missed by many, my prayers and thoughts go out to your family.

Ninfa was my shining hope when my mother was diagnosed with cancer.  She helped me to understand what mom was going through and how to be there for her.  She opened her heart and her home to me. She let me make her laugh even when she felt like crud.

I'm going to miss you sister. I'm going to miss your smile and the way your eyes crinkle when you laugh. You will always be in my heart.

Mama Ninfa...I am at lost for words...I am so blessed to have met you and have shared some amazing times with you... Descansa en paz y que Dios te tenga en su Santa Gloria... I love you and we will see each other one again...

May the light of the Lord shining on you and be our Angel. You will be missed.

Ninfa - From the first moment I met you, I was struck by your warmth and kindness, tempered with a little mischeviousness and an amazing amount of fortitude.  I feel fortunate to have met you and to count you as one of my friends.  You will be sorely missed.
       I know you will be comforted in God's embrace and realeased from all suffering.  You will live in my heart forever.

You will forever be a part of our life and you will never be forgotten ❤

I met Ninfa at a Catholic church breast cancer support group in 2009.  
When I shared my story with the strangers in this group, crying my eyes out, Ninfa came to me after the meeting and gave me her phone number and told me to call her. We became best friends, she was warm, caring, so sweet and a smile like an angel. She was my angel. 
We did many things together over the next 6 years, sharing our day to day troubles and laughing and looking forward to our next get together. 
Ninfa definitely touched my life in so many positive ways and I miss her dearly. Now she is in Heaven, the amazing mischevious angel that she is!
I am sure there will not be a day that goes by that I won't think of her, I love you Ninfa, my very dear friend. Laura

You loved your family.  You were so kind to your Mother & took her on great trips!!  I am so happy that I had the chance to meet you. You are gone way to soon & will be missed by so many people!!
