I've known Armida all my Life.
Her family lived right around the corner from my family.
Armida & I did everything together, she was my BFF, we would walk to school and just hang-out.
She was always Happy.

Her Mother Mary, taught My Mom to drive in our back yard, driving straight into the grapevine that my father built! 
Oh Boy, what a Lesson because my mother also took out the water faucet back there!

This is where Armida got her character from, her mom. 
 Armida was always ready for a new adventure.

She started dating my brother Bob "Officially" when he completed his term in Viet Nam.
The year was 1969, I knew then, that she would become My 
Sister-in-Law, someday.

Armida and Bob were married on Halloween, October 31, 1970.
If you were Armida's friend, you were her friend for life, she never passed judgment on anyone.

Through the years we remained best friends, still talking about nothing and laughing about everything.

She was always ready to open her home to anyone, Armida loved to Entertain.

Armida gave our Sister-in-Law, Lisa her Bridal Shower & 1st Baby Shower, which led to Many, Many Other Family Parties & Events.

During summer we would go swimming in their pool, our family would go on many camping trips and vacations with Armida & Bob.

Those were the "Good-old-Days!"

Armida is now at peace with the Love of her Life.

It is with a heavy heart that I sit here with my thoughts about Armida. It’s so hard to imagine that she is gone. At least, she is not in pain anymore and she is with her beloved husband, Bob, once again.

Armida worked for my husband and I for quite a few years. She knew all of our kids and we got to know Bob, Rita, Misty and Andrew.

Armida and I became close friends. We could talk for hours. We had no secrets and no subject was ever off-limits. We’d laugh & cry together.

On occasion Armida and Bob would join our family for holidays, weddings, and other parties. We loved good music, loved to dance, and had so much fun together. Armida had such a good heart. She was devoted to Bob and she was so proud of Rita, Misty, and Andrew.

I found Armida to be very talented. She could decorate beautifully for holidays. She totally helped set up the decorations for our daughters wedding.  And, Armida was a fantastic cook. Our whole family loved her chicken enchilada casserole. My husband would buy the ingredients and she would gladly make it up for us. Dennis also loved her potato salad.

Our family always had dogs and cats Armida loved them and they loved her back.

When Armida and Bob bought their home in Hesperia, we didn’t see each other very often. However we talked on the phone.  I remember though one time my husband decided we were going to go visit Armida and take her a bunch of groceries. She was so surprised and so grateful.

It was so sad when Bob died and so difficult for Armida and the entire family. Bob was such a good man. We thought so highly of him.

A couple of days before Armida passed, she called to tell me goodbye. She was so sick and I begged her to fight to get well. ButI had a sick feeling inside.  I will never forget her call
for as long as I live.. when I tried to call her and she didn’t answer, I just knew.  Rest in peace my special friend, and May God bless your beautiful family.

RIP my beautiful cousin Our deepest condolences to the family 

Mom I miss you so much.  Thank you for being so Loving, kind, generous, giving, humble, so many thing's that have made me into the woman I am today. You Loved unconditionally. Who will I bug a million times a day now? Thank you for instilling the Love for Jehovah God in our hearts
 He is walking with me as my heart grieves for you & dad. I will see you soon. LOVE RITA MARIE
