Alma was the best Special Aide classroom aide one could hope for. She was organized, caring, and devoted to doing her best at being an assistant in so many different ways.. She was a very sweet, humble, and wonderful human being. Alma always put her family first and foremost. Her devotion to each and every one of her children, and grandchildren, was enormous. She was a very special person. We shared a love of animals...Alma will surely be happy and at peace surrounded by her loving pets.

She wasn't just my mom but she was my best friend. Her whole life was devoted to her family. My mom was the most unselfish person in the world. I will miss her dearly, a day won't go by without me thinking of her or reaching for the phone to talk about my day. I hope I can be half the person you were. I love you Mom, Laura
