Never thought I’d lose you but here I am standing alone,
Without you by my side I can’t seem to breathe. We’re sisters for life, we promised but now you’re gone I don’t know what to do without you & I’m going crazy, I can’t seem to grasp my life at this time. I’m trying to hold on to keep strong but it just doesn’t feel right I’m waiting here with my arms wide open crying like a child ready for your return yet I know it will never happen because God has called you home. I was so blessed to have had a Sister like you who gave me strength, courage, and mostly helped me with my children and even my grandchildren. You were their Nina and I ask you to watch over my Son who Loves you so much. Keep him close to you. Walk with me Sister and don’t abandon me for I miss you so much and you took my heart with you so I thank you for being my Sister and accepting me for whom I was. You were an Amazing woman with so much heart for everyone. I love you!!!
Your sister…Irene
May you rest in Peace.

To Tia Ester and Aldaz family, We send our condolences to you on my cousin Linda's passing. She was always smiling and made you feel happy, she had a great laugh that I will always remember. My fond memory of her was when she baby sat us at tia house one time and she said don't hang on that tree, it is lighting outside and tio might not like it, true to word, tio said off the tree and she said "see i told you". with that laugh. I stuck by her that night. Will miss her and her brother. Though the Navy kept me away, the family has always been there for us. keep the great memories and pass them on to your kids. She will always be with you, trust me and you will know it.
