Herminia’s 87th birthday celebration.  Pictured with sons Gilbert and Peter, daughter Rosalind, son in law Jim, and grandchildren Sarah, David, and Joseph. We love and miss you very much. 

Maria “Chelo” Garcia, Herminia's brother Johnny’s wife, and daughter Sylvia came to visit. Herminia was happy to see them and revisit old memories they shared together. 

We are so happy we were able to capture a moment so special. Thank you for coming to Reina’s last baby shower. We will cherish this memory forever. 

Thank you for always being so kind. You had such a big heart. We love you.

My beautiful Grandma, 

How much I miss you! Things will never be the same without you nor will I get over the fact that you have moved on from this world. I want to thank you for every lesson you instilled in me to help shape the person I am today. Since I was a child you have taken me into your unconditional love, care, and guidance. Every time we saw each other was a moment a love I so desperately needed. I still smell your tortillas, perfume, and candles. Thank you for blessing me with life from your lineage. I hope to hold the family up in your honor and legacy. I love you so much Grandma. I really wish you were here holding my hand and still giving me words of encouragement. I now understand that you are in a better place. Not a goodbye, A see you later. 

I love you so much Grandma and I will never stop. 

Love, 

your grandson, 

David Ponce
