 I remember the first time I met her she,was wearing blue pettle pushers (that is what they were called then) a blue shirt with big yellow flowers on it she was sitting in her rose garden in the front yard on Olive St. I will miss you! You are always in my prayers

The hardest part about going to the house is walking in the doors and not going directly to the left. Because anyone that goes to visit gramma at the house knows, this is the very first place u go to becuase we always say hi to gramma first. Gramma was a HUGE part of the family and it breaks my heart that she is no longer here in person for me to hug and hold her hands and sit and gossip with her. 
I remember one time i asked her "gramma, why dont u let ur hair grow out white, its beautiful this way and grow out ur brows so its easier to pencil them in?" And she said to me "i will never stop taking care of myself because ur grampa always loved for me to do my hair and makeup"  :)
But im at peace knowing that she is not suffering and she is still surrounded by family and that she was welcomed with open arms.
Gramma, i miss u and i will always love you.

I love you Grandma and miss you already say hi to my dad tell him i miss him so much

Tia Virginia, It's been so long since I've seen you but I've wonderful memories of my childhood having you as an aunt and wonderful cousins that you gave me to play with. Give my mom a big hug and Nacha, too. My condolences to your children/grandchildren. Diana (Martinez) Greer

In grandma's last days she was in the hospital and on this particular day Beto was by her side. The nurses brought some broth for grandma to try to eat. Everyone was concerned about how weak she had become. Let me first share something that made Beto and I laugh. (A welcomed feeling at that time) I asked the nurse to help me reposition grandma so she could try the broth. After we repositioned her the nurse pulled the sheet back to straighten her gown (she was covered) but grandma pushed her hands down as to hide herself and said,'no! Albert is right there and doesn't need to see me!' Omg we laughed because for us at that time she let us know she was aware and still had her dignity! :) we were so happy:) so I got a sponge on a stick the kind used to clean your mouth. We thought grandma could suck the soup from the sponge.  She did while Beto held the bowl she dipped the sponge several times in the bowl and brought it to her mouth by herself. This was a welcomed sight! This was on Tuesday and she passed away on Thursday.

I will always miss you mom you're in my heart like always now you're with daddy and my brothers in heaven with no more worries or illnesses

I love you Gramma, now you are with Grampa. Say hi to my dad for me.
