I never knew a time without Nina. The long car ride to get to her house that always felt like an eternity and was guaranteed to make me car sick. The hours we knew that were going to be spent there because the drive was so long. The yummy food that never stopped coming. The treats she always had on hand. The bed that was always free for a good nap. And right before we left she’d always send us home with our “domingo” (allowance) regardless of how old we got. Holidays, special occasions, just because! I never knew life without her. For so long I thought she was my grandma, then I discovered that she wasn’t even my actual Nina! She was my unofficial grandma and Nina. She would always sneak us what we wanted and was always the person to fight for us regardless of whether or not we were in the right. Her house was home. Her vibrant colors, the ability to always make me laugh, and the way I always felt safe with her are the things that will stay with me. The Garcia ladies were fighting ladies and man was she a fighter! It’s fun to see some similarities of Nina and my Abue in my children. The sass! The love of vibrant colors! The love of bold makeup! And the way they like a good fight! 
I loved her and although my children won’t grow up with Nina it brings me such joy to see her in them and to share her with them. 
Thankful to have known life with her and happy for the memories that I got to create. 
Love you always! 



I think it’s time to buy a comfy pant suit now!

My favorite was always when I stayed over and she would make me foods and give me cookies and candy. She would also cover me even when I wasn't cold. Always asking me if I was cold and I'd always say no and she would say no I always am. I would always steal her clothes and play dress up and she would always say how pretty and beautiful I looked. I'll always miss you my sweet angel. You can rest now and fight with my grandpa as much as you want now. I love you with my entire soul grandma🤍

Te amo madrecita chula 😘🥰🙏🕊️💗

Mi Reyna hermosa nos vas hacer mucha falta pero ya estas junto a mi papa descansando y peleando 😁 pero juntos 💗🕊️💕
