I wish I had the chance to speak of this when I was at the viewing Grandma but I will share my heart now for you. 

We didn’t grow up or live in Somerton/Yuma AZ but my family and I traveled to visit and stay as long as we could to be with you. We spent some summers together in your house, talking, laughing, and playing. We would walk together to the neighborhood “candy store” when it was still around and buying loads of junk food with the quarters you gave us. I even remember the time when you had a beautiful big tree in your backyard with chicken coops hugging the stone walls; the chickens also had baby chicks! Those are only the fraction of the memories I hold dear to my heart. What I remember most about you is you. Your love for jokes, to cook for your loved ones even when we weren’t hungry, your witty remarks, the way you enjoyed movies while knitting, your stubbornness, your independence, your compassion, your selflessness for your loved ones and for strangers, your guidance and advice, your knowledge for life, your courage and strength, your beauty inside and out, and your relationship with god. These characteristics I will always admire because even though you’re physically gone, your spirit is not. We forget to cherish what we have and how to honor who we have until they are gone but you are not completely gone. We still carry you not in our hearts but what is coursing through our veins, I have your wit and your stubbornness just as my mother has your strength and your beauty. So do my aunts and so do my cousins. We all have a part of you and I am so blessed to carry you with me. You are home, it is not the roof over our heads nor the possessions we have, home is god. You are home grandma! I am happy you were here on earth with us but now I am joyful you are home. I love you Grandma.

You were so proud of Sevi, in all his  accomplishment's. Playing the violin and his endeavors in San Antonio, Texas. To Candyce in her higher education down  town  San Antonio, Texas with OLLU- Our Lady of the Lake University. We will always remember you, Rosa Maria Madrigal- Our Beautiful Grandma.  —Reyes Family

Sister,
When my life was the hardest, you prayed with me, you let me cry, we giggled, we shared our love for junk, and you helped me dream. You reminded me that I would not please everyone and that my job was to love my people and to let go of what wasn’t meant to be part of me so that I could survive. You taught me to love our sister and protect her no matter what the cost was. You reminded me of the why and to do it for God, not for me or anyone else; you gave me peace. I will always admire your strength and your love for God, even when life was hard for you. So many times you told me God blessed you with your girls. You did so good sis. They are amazing and strong and you got to see them grow. I know you will continue to watch them and guide them. I hope you’re enjoying your time with Mom and Dad. It’s your turn to be loved by them. I can see it now, sis, you all giggling and singing; you all at peace. 
Love you forever sis. 
And girls never forget she lives within you 🩷
