Rudy, Catherine & Family,
One of the hardest things in this lifetime is to lose a loving MOM. I know your MOM meant the world to you Rudy. My faith has helped me through some of the saddest days of my life, I hope yours will do the same. Your MOM will always have a special place in your heart and every time it beats you'll think of her and smile because she is resting in paradise. I pray everyday and you are always in them and now your MOM too. God Bless You, Your Family and most of all your MOM. Love Always,

Though we haven't seen each other in many years I can hear the sound of my Tia's voice, her laugh and I always remember her kindness to me. We will miss you for now Tia...thank God for His promise that if we believe we will one day be united again!
I have very mixed emotions as Tia has now gone to be with the Lord. I am sad for my cousins and all the family yet I am happy that my Mom, Amalia, now has her best friend and sister Dora with her. God bless you mi Familia,
