To the Espinoa Family: My prayers are with you on this occasion of you Mothers death. She is at peace, and we should rejoice for she is with our Lord Jesus Christ. I enjoyed your entire family when I was growing up, going to the YWCA. You have so many good memories to reflect on, and every time you remember, your mom will smile at you in the form of a bird singing, a rainbow, or a beautiful flower blooming. You were so lucky to have enjoyed her so long. Irma Celis Manzanales

My grandmother always sacrificed her energy and time for other people when she was well and strong. She never tryed to gain nor did she ever ask anything for herself. It was her devotion that drew people near her. She kept our family together in times of trouble, and has been the rock on which our lives are built. There was nothing more enjoyable to her than helping people in any way that she could. Now she has joined my mother in heaven. Please tell my mom, Alfred, Moses and Margaret I miss them and I love them. I love you grandma. Ronni Guerrero-(granddaughter)

What a great and giving lady Ms Espinosa was, always thinking of others first. My deepest condolences to the family. Myself and all my friends knew her son Moses. He like his mother was such a great guy. He was real popular at all the dances because he always danced with eveyone, no matter what you looked like, skinny, short, fat, plain, he treated everyone the same.

I have many happy memories of my Grandma. One that I will always cherish is when Grandma would stand on her porch say a prayer and send us home with her Blessings. Love you Grandma!

Our grandmother was a pure God sent creation without a doubt! She lived for her faith and after many years of educating us in belief and loyalty to our God, she has become a legend to many that she has touched in their lives. We celebrate and appreciate all that she has taught us and will remember her legacy as she would want us to.....put God first and always help others. I love you grandma and will miss your blessings each and everytime I left your presence. But I know you will always be watching us from above.

When I married into the Espinosa family,Tia Concha was up in age already.I did not see much of her, but the stories that Rudy shared with me, made me feel like I had known her all of my life. She had a kind face and a beautiful heart. She is now with our Lord sitting next to him with a big smile.
All of my love to Tia Concha's family and to you Pop, Mom and Mary Lou.
