To The Family of Gloria Duenas, 
My deepest sympathy and prayers for the lose of your mother, grandmother and wife. May you find comfort in each other during this sorrowful time. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Tia Gloria,

I want to tell you that I love you so much. You were a key part of my childhood. I will never forget all the times we would come to visit you and you always had open arms. Your love and compassion was so deep. You will be truly missed. I am sorry life took over and we grew apart and you were not apart of my adulthood. I will forever hold on to my fond memories of you and tio Beto. The food you made and the dance parties in your garage. I can’t help but to remember you whenever I hear the song Macarena. I remember dancing to it in your garage. I love you and may you rest in peace and be reunited with your loved ones in heaven. I wish I didn’t live so far away.

I’m so happy that  I was your grandson. I envy those the call you mom because they got to be with you longer, but now I think you’re much better, I bet you feel better enough so we can go to Vegas!hahah anyways love you much- Tino

Mom .There are so many things I wish I could say to you, and yet I never seem to find the right words. I've never been very good at expressing my feelings, but I need you to know how much I love you and how deeply I miss you every single day.
Losing you has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to face. There are moments when I still can't believe you're gone. Sometimes I find myself wanting to call you, tell you about my day, ask for your advice, or simply hear your voice one more time. The truth is, a part of me still doesn't know how to be without you.
You were such an important part of my life. Your love, your presence, your strength, and even the little things you did meant more to me than I probably ever told you. Looking back, I wish I had found better ways to show you just how much I appreciated everything you did and everything you were.
I also want you to know something that I hope you always knew in your heart: you were truly loved. Like every family, we had our ups and downs. There were disagreements, misunderstandings, and difficult moments along the way. But none of that ever changed the love people had for you. Everyone who knew you was touched by your life in some way. You mattered so much to so many people.
Your love helped shape the person I am today, and your memory continues to guide me. Even though you're no longer here physically, you remain with me in my heart, in my thoughts, and in the lessons you taught me. I carry you with me wherever I go.
I miss you more than words can ever express. I love you more than I probably ever said. And I will continue loving you for the rest of my life.
Thank you for being my mom. Thank you for your love, your sacrifices, your patience, and your heart. I will cherish you always.
Until we meet again,
I love you, Mom.
Forever and always, your daughter, Angel 🙏😭

Grandma, 
We had so many long talks and spent so much time together. I’m so grateful for everything I got to learn from you. You were a strong, stubborn, loving woman who always spoke your mind, and that’s something I’ll always remember about you.
Even through our ups and downs, the love was always there. You taught me lessons I’ll carry with me forever, and I’ll cherish all the memories, laughs, and conversations we shared.
Thank you for being my grandma, for being a fighter, and for leaving a piece of yourself with all of us. I love you and I’ll miss you always. ❤️

Prima you took my granddaughters in when they needed a home
 I will never forget tha. I think I got my dancing feet from you.  I love you so much. I will really miss you.

Grandma Gloria , 
    With many years in between  now and then -

I loved you ,no matter how close or apart we were .
I hold no expectations of the after, but believe you are finally at rest . Where ever there is ,I hope you join those who went before and love in eternity . As the the ones we love do not read -after passing we write these for ourselves and others to see — so that we may find peace and comfort as you brought- my prayers and sympathy for the the family may the lord put his loving hand and grace upon thee -  May he give comfort to where comfort is needed and peace to it belongs . May he bring grandma Gloria into his house when time has come and gone 


       - Resepctfully Gloria’s Grandson

Mom, our story was not a perfect one, and there were many things left unsaid. But you were still my mother, and a part of me will always belong to you. I will remember your love for dancing, the joy you found in music, the way you loved to sparkle, and the way you made your own mark on this world. I pray you have found peace. Until we meet again, may you dance among the stars. I love you, Mom.

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Gloria. A devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, she touched the lives of everyone who knew her. Gloria had a beautiful spirit, a love for dancing, a sparkle in her style, and a special place in her heart for music. Her favorite color was red, she loved the casino, and she lived life with warmth, strength, and joy. She will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.

Grandma, you will be missed. You were the matriarch of the family and none of us would be here without you. Wishing we would've had one last family BBQ in your backyard and listening to you playing your favorite songs. Even though your feet were always hurting, you made sure to sing & dance with your hands. Hoping you are at peace and sparkling full of rhinestones in heaven.
