Hi nana, the kids and I spent all day at sun splash today, and as we waited in line for a slide...Aaliyah looked up and goes " there's g-nana! As she pointed to the biggest butterfly we have ever seen in Az flying right above us!" I looked up and it had the most amazing bright colors or yellow and orange and white<3 no pink.. But I still know it was YOU! It seem to stay in that same area till we left, making me feel safe and secure ;) thank you nana for watching over me and my babies today....we love and miss you so much...<3 say hi to grandma for us:)

Hernandez Family,
I was at your mother's Rosary service last night but I had to leave at 830. I was hoping to give you all a great big loving hug. The stories of Annie and her camera certainly rang true for me. I know if you check in some of those piles of photos you will find some of me. Last night I kept thinking of the light from her camera and reference of Jesus being the light to the world. Your mom was full of life, faith, humor, love and kindness. Annie's light is not out, it burns even brighter now. When you find yourself missing her at family events and familiar occasions. All you have to do is look at the light in all your children, nieces and nephews. You will see a little bit of Annie in all of them.
“May the Light of the Holy Spirit flow into our sacred hearts, fill our beingness, and illuminate our consciousness for the highest good of all concerned. In perfect love and understanding may we share the spiritual blessings which are our birthright as living divine souls. May the Light bring to life
In our awareness the true spiritual essence signified by the words written herein. Through Thy Grace we receive.”
God Bless you all.

Dear Morales Family,
We were saddened by the tragic news. In our many years of friendship, we saw and only heard from others good things about Annie. She was a charitable person, good mother and devoted wife. Her hospitable nature shined above the norm. She will be remembered as a faithful servant of our Lord. If we can be of any help let us know. God Bless your family.
Love,
George Estrada and Family.

I don't think I've ever seen Annie without a smile on her face. She was always happy! On many occasions during a wedding or party, Annie would remember to bring me old pictures she took that she thought I might want of my kids or family. She was so sweet. Annie, you will be missed by all. My heart goes out to the Hernandez family. I'm praying for your strength to get through this difficult time.
