Grandma, two years feels like a decade. We have faced some challenges and triumphs I so wish you were here for. Sharing old memories of you with my babies reminds me of your kindness, compassion, love, strength, sweet laugh, love for Elvis and segundas!  I’m still here trying to make you proud. All my love forever. 

My condolences to my kin in Kansas. My heart aches for your loss. I wish I could be there to celebrate Tia’s life with you. Please know I am there in spirit. Tia had a special place in my heart; I have nothing but good memories of her. She was such an affectionate person; she wasn’t shy about express her feelings. She would often scold me when I would run around at Grandpa Gregorio’s house. Then turn around and give me snack. 😁 Please take comfort knowing she is home with love ones. I love you all. 

My deepest condolences to my family in Kansas, my thoughts and prayer are with you guys during this difficult time.  I’m Tia  Cruz nephew by marriage.  Tia Cruz was the kindest and most loving person I know. I will never forget her beautiful smile.  And yes a tortilla story. When she would come to visit my mother in law we would  have a big get together and she would make tortillas.  She would always set aside a dozen tortillas for me.  She would tell me with her soft kind voice, I put a dozen tortillas away for you don’t forget them. I would say, oh Tia I won’t.  At that moment I knew when it was going to be time to go home I was going to have to sneak out of there and I was terrible at that. On the way home I would show my wife Chris the tortillas and say, my Tia loves me and she would just roll her eyes. I would not share those tortillas the rest of the week. My heart is broken that I can’t be there to give her the respect she deeply deserves and to say my good bye.  Tia I will miss you and may you Rest In Peace.  Respectfully Reyes Espinoza. 

Rosie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Our deepest condolences to our Kansas cousins. We love you and wish we can be there with you but because of the pandemic we can’t and it breaks my heart. Tia Cruz had the most beautiful smile and was always very loving and kind to all of us. We have nothing but great memories of her. She always welcomed all of us In her home and we are many. We laughed a lot, eat great food, talked a lot and just really enjoyed each other’s company.  Her tortillas were so good. We will miss your beautiful smile Tia. Love you always. 

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Cruzita (as my family called her) would visit our Mother often, even at the nursing home before our Mom passed. She was a dear sweet lady! Ever since we were very young we have fond memories of Mom and Cruzita visiting in the kitchen over a cup of coffee, laughing and "gossiping".  They were very close friends/comadres, and I am sure they are laughing and hugging each other in Heaven now.  Rest in peace, Cruzita!

She was my first mother-in-law for 5 years . She taught me how to make Mexican food and she's a very loving caring understanding person she would do anything for her kids no matter what and her grandkids. I can say that she was the best mother in law I ever had yeah sometimes we didn't see eye-to-eye but she still listen to you and give you a good advice. She always wanted the best for her kids and I could say that she raised her kids very well . I want to say thank you for being my mother-in-law rest in peace

I'm sorry that you have gone away grandma and I know that I didn't get to see you as much as I should have but you are always be remembered in my heart and in my soul we love you and we will all miss you.Rest peacefully
