Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you struggle through your sorrow. May you find comfort in knowing Heaven has received another Angel; her name is Santina. As a child I have the happiest memories of Aunt Sunny and my cousins. As an adult I realized the happy memories were because of Aunt Sunny's soft, caring, and compassionate manner in the way she lived her life. She always welcomed our family with the lovely smile and embrace that made us feel special. Her warm demeanor made everyone feel welcomed. She will be missed by everyone who knew and loved her.
