I still miss our talks, your jokes and laughter. I wish you was still here with me. 

Love you forever

Your son, Elison

My dear friend Cindy and family,

My deepest sympathies on your loss. I never had the opportunity to meet your mom, but I can say without a doubt she was a strong, compassionate, and caring person simply because those qualities shone through in you Cindy! May God give all of you the strength to gracefully continue on. 

Much love. 

-Jessie

To my beloved mother

Mami, I want to thank you for the man you made  me today.  As I’m writing this to you with all my heart and soul, I’m forever thankful for the times I made you mad and you forgave me for the mistake I done. When I was growing up and I had to learn the hard way but for those mistakes I done in my life made me the man I am today and I was able to do what god brought me through you to do is to lay you to rest with him my beloved mother of mine, your son Junito or like you use to call me el Nene. Will never ever forget you and will try my hardest to continue your outstanding legacy you have instilled in me.

For ever my beloved mother 
From your son El Nene Junito 

Wela was a beautiful loving person. A person who’s love was felt, a person who sacrifried, a person who gave life to 5 kids and 12 grandchildren and even great grandchildren. Being a grandchild we received a different type of love that we can only understand. Taking a look back at our relationship it was different. She knew I was the one that needed tough love from the moment she met me. Since I was little her favorite line with me was you wanna pow pow. She said it with a smile on her face, I laughed and so said no Wela. As she and I got older , I started to understand her health. I was with her everyday during summers plus the time she lived with me I saw her exercise everyday. ( talk about exercise)  Because of the type of relationship we had I got away with something that were said to her. Every time I saw her or talked I always asked if she’s doing her exercises if not I always said to her in my broken Spanish “you want me to punch you in the head” she always laughed and said told me yes that she’s doing them. Being the 4th of of 12 grandchildren we all had different relationships with Wela but something in common was the love she gave us. If there was ever a day where if all I wanted to hear was I love you, I could count on my grandmother to say it within the first three words. I don’t care about anything else that she brought to the table when it come to wanting to something back, her I love you meant more than the world you felt it. 
Our last conversation was a week prior to her passing, she saw me on FaceTime and called me (fat in Spanish) that’s all she wanted from me was to gain weight. I didn’t know that was my last conversation, but Im sure she knew. So looking back I’m content with it because Wela saw me at my best version up to date, she left not needing to worry about me, she left proud of me.
Til we see each other again❤️

While I only met this wonderful once last year, I was immediately taken in with her big smile, the joy that she radiated and the warmth that she exhibited to all of those around her that day. I have often heard stories since then that only confirmed what I had already known from that day. Generous with not only herself but whatever she had to give and providing love and support to those in her life. She was a special woman who created a beautiful family. Her legacy lies in each of you and will continue through future generations to provide the lessons that she so wonderfully lived. My thoughts, prayers and love are being sent to you during these difficult days. 

I will forever be grateful for the time I was able to spend with you, no matter how short. Your kindness and compassion was beyond evident in everything you did. I’m not sure I ever saw you without a smile, and that brought so much joy. I am beyond heartbroken over your passing. My heart goes out to your many loved ones. You will be missed tremendously.  May you Rest In Peace and know how much you are loved. 

Dear Quella, I can't believe that you are no longer with us!  Thank you for being such a great mother in law.  I appreciate all the thoughtful gestures and love that you showed me over the years;  like making my favorite Puerto Rican soup when we would visit, letting me stay with you for 1 week while I attended a medical conference, never forgetting my birthday with gifts of money or classic slippers.  But the greatest thing that you have ever done for me is giving birth to my beautiful wife!  Without you I would never have been able to find my soulmate and love of my life.  Thank you for making Cindy and being such an excellent mother to her and for allowing me to be so blessed in life.  I promise that my children will always remember you and I know Cindy and our daughter Gemma will continue your legacy.  May you rest in peace in heaven with the angels.  Love your only son in law  Dino

I will miss you always and I love the time that we spent together playing bingo.  I loved it when you called me your queen.

Love you with all my heart,

Elizabeth Perez

I love you grandmom and I will miss you and I will never forget you. I will make you proud of me.

Love you always,

Michael

I remember every time, when we visit her in Harrisburg she would make sure there was plenty of food in her apartment and she would make our favorite meal for dinner. I will always remember and be gratiful for the love that she gave my two children. They will miss her deeply.

I love you, Maria

I'm completely heart broken that I lost my loving mother. I will never forget her and she will live in my heart forever.

We are deeply sorry for the  loss of your dear Mother and grandmother.  May she rest in peace.   May God give you all comfort, strength and peace.  May the great love she had for all her family continue through all the memories you have of her.

God bless you all!

I am so sorry for your loss. I could tell how wonderful of a woman she was through the way Cindy would light up talking about her or the way Armani or Lorenzo would smile telling me about the Spanish they learned with her. My heart and prayers are with you all through this difficult time. 

Dear Abuela:

You're love for me and all of your family was a love which was abundant and radiant, ever present; expressed through, and in, all you did. You were a wonderful woman. An honorable woman. Kind. Caring. An awesome and loving Abuela. Everything you did came from, and with, love. We all know that you would have done anything and everything for us, and we have experienced and witnessed this fact many times. 

I will forever remember and cherish the memories I have of and with you:

The bingo games, the kool-aids; the bubble-gum-eyed popsicles, the trips to the playground; the warm meals made with love, the big bags of cereal; the TV well above a healthy volume...
And the hugs, the kisses; and every "be careful papi," and "love you papi".

All these things, and the memory of you and your love, will live on in and through me, and all your family, for as long as we may live.

Rest in peace, Abuela, and may God keep and be with you, and may you be with us all.

We are so sorry for your loss. Wishing you comfort and peace in the days ahead as you go through this difficult time.  

my abuela,
I know you loved me and still do. It saddens me that I couldn't tell you I loved you before you went. I will cherish all of our memories together and you will never be forgotten. Jolene and jionni will always know about you and youll always be in our hearts. This weekend I will celebrate your life and not your death. You made a legacy on earth and for that I celebrate your life. You might have been taken from us but noone can take you from our hearts. Rip abuela and watch over your family my guardian angel.

To my one and only Abuela 

Although it is tough for me to show it I have always loved you with all my heart I will miss the sponge bob ice creams, the sodas, and walks to play at the park behind your house. I'll always remember your love and laying on your lap when I was younger so you can play with my hair. 

Miss you already, love Dillon 

She was always happy & laughing! Very sorry for your loss. 

You will be missed dearly.. you were such an amazing person and I am glad I had the honor of knowing you thank you for everything.

It was an absolute blessing and honor to be your daughter!! All that I became was because of your example and love!!! Thank you for blessing our lives with your love!!!
