I miss you! But, I know, I only have to look at your candle, and you are around. Check out the lemon tree ?!?! What do you think of that and all the other Colorful changes? I know,holding back, and then someone compliments you and then you love it!! I know we talk a lot, thanks for the love and memories. Kip

Hey grandma it's me Joey, you just ran across my mind, with the holidays and all memories just flood my mind of the Christmas eve dinners both you and brandy use to host. I miss you both so much and just want to reiterate and let you know I still think about you both on a daily basis.

Maria, Their has been a HUGE void in my heart since you have been gone , and it feels like its getting bigger. My Dad's second anniversary is in 2 days and I honestly feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest yet again. When he died you were so Incredibly kind to me, checking in, countless hugs and just being there for me. You told me that from now on you would be both my Mother & Father, and you were. . . So as his anniversary comes my way I am not quite sure how to handle it?! Its like a double whammy to my heart and soul with you both gone. I need you to know I love you SO much, and I think about you everyday.
Love Rachel
Carlos, you son.

Mornig mom, it's a rainny Saturday mornig in late October. Doug and i are planning to go to a halloween party tonight. Sure would feel nice if I could show you my costume for your approvel. Some dayz have been hader then others but I guess this is my new life. I'm trying to do the right things that you would want me to do. Sometimes I want to snap and give up on things, people and places but i know you would to tell me to work threw those problems. Melancholy- that is the word for this morning. But there is always this afternoon.

I didn´t have the pleasure of knowing her..But my Beloved Partner Alfred did. And usually, when someone dies. We always say. I know what you are going through...Well. I know what her family is going through, because I lost my Mother in 1990....And I still miss her...I know she will always be missed and remembered the same way my Alfred does....I won´t say good bye Doña Maria Del Carmen....Solamente..Hasta pronto....My deepest condolences to your family....Besos y God Bless You!!!!

I met Doña Maria through Carlos. She instantly greeted me with a smile and a cautious trepidation as to how I knew Carlos. Every time I saw her afterward she always greeted me with the warmth that only a mothers love knows. I was deeply saddened to learn she had entered immortality from Carlos and immediately empathetic as I knew how close he and his sisters were to Doña Maria. My love, respect and prayers are with them all in their time of grief. If I could offer a little thought of solice it would be that I know in my heart of hearts she is up in heaven smiling down on her children with a gleam of pride in her eyes. Rest in eternal peace Doña Maria.

Maria, aunque casi nunca nos mirabamos siempre me acuerdo que me saludabas con una sonrisa y siempre me aceptabas en tu casa con los brazos abiertos. Dios solamente sabe porque te nos fuiste muy pronto de este mundo, pero ahora dios tiene a otro angel en el cielo. Gracias por siempre ser una gran madre especialmemte para el Clark. Que siempre el necesita un angel que lo cuida y ya se que siempre estaras a su lado. Y como la madre que siempre seras en donde estes te quiere dedicar esta poema con todo mi corazon. Es una poemas que encontre en un libro que tiene mi hermana. Hasta siempre.
Fue en el mes de Noviembre
de un crudo frío de invierno,
cuando tú sin programar el viaje
te fuiste volando al cielo.
Todos estábamos muy tranquilos
creyendo que tú no lo harías.
¿Quién te pudo a ti llamar
que tan voluntaria acudías?
Seguro que viste el cielo abierto
y algún ángel allí te elevó
porque de no haber sido así
a todos nos hubieras dicho adiós.
Ahora ya serás un ángel más
con espíritu y gran corazón
que latirá por todos nosotros
desde lo alto lanzando destellos de amor
Disfruta de esa gran inmensidad
que tú bien lo tienes merecido
a lo largo de tantos años
sufriendo tanto como has sufrido.
Vida corta y vida larga;
viviste con gran intensidad,
¿Cómo en tu cuerpecito pequeño
tuviera cabida tanta humanidad?
De estatura bajita y muy pequeñita
y de una gran generosidad;
eras corazón de talla grande
derrochabas mucha ternura y gran bondad.
Desde el cielo tú nos vigilarás
como el azor vigila los pájaros;
no para cogernos del cuello;
sólo para extendernos tus manos.
Y si contigo yo no puedo hablar
y cartas tampoco te puedo enviar
dime, ¿Qué tengo que hacer
para poderme contigo comunicar?
A menudo entras en mis conversaciones;
siempre te tengo como un gran ejemplo;
dime de qué forma me escuchas
para que a mí me sigas oyendo.
Porque aunque a mi lado no estas
siempre te sigo queriendo
y te seguiré transmitiendo siempre
lo que por ti yo sigo sintiendo.
Con Amor,
Chris

Maria Elias was my friend and over many I came to know her life store. Her story would make great novel. She faced great hardship and deprivation with determination and an inner strength that carried her trough the hard times and difficult decisions that would have crippled a lesser person. Through these struggles Maria maintained a warm personality and kindness. She was able t laugh and displayed no regrets or remorse. A truly amazing person, who will be missed by her family and many friends. Maria, go with god. With love, Ron

Maria!! Se nos adelanto un poquito y aunque es dificil aceptarlo, la verdad es que siempre viviras en mi corazon, y estoy segura en el de todos los que te llegamos a conocer.
Es dificl olvidarse de una persona que se da a querer tan facil, que siempre queria lo mejor para sus seres queridos y daba todo por ellos.
Fuiste un ejemplo de vida y tus mejores deseos y sabios consejos solo pudieron venir de alguien tan especial como tu, ese instinto de proteccion y ayuda desinteresada, solo tu.
Y Ahora tu alma alegre, positiva y llena de bondad baila en otra dimension, y aunque los que quedamos no te vemos fisicamente, estas presente en cada recuerdo hermoso que tubiste, en cada detalle que sembraste y ahora lo cosechas con los que tuvimos el honor de conocerte!
Siempre con esa sonrisa en tus labios, siempre dandole la espalda a lo negativo. Vives en nosotros y estaras presente por que ya eres parte de cada uno. Guardanos un lugarcito que todos vamos tarde o temprano a alanzarte TQM!

"Maria always seemed to care more about her children than anything else. We all admire mothers for who they are and what sacrifices they make in life. When I first met her, before anything else, she asked me to help her look after her angel, Carlos. I will never forget the look of determination on her face, so admirable!

Grandma, I'm not really sure what to say but I guess what I'd like to say most is that I will always be grateful to you for having had the strength and courage to come to the U.S.-- a move which afforded our family a lot of opportunities. When I think of the progress our family has made in three short generations, I attribute much of it to you coming to America and to my mom for working so incredibly hard. I wish we could have all had stronger relationships, but appreciate whatever memories I do have- the birthday parties and the scary movies my brother mentioned, as well as some of the fun talks about boys. I am comforted by the thought that you're with Brandy and hope that you rest safe knowing we'll always take care of Uncle Carlos. We'll miss you. With love, Lisa

Maria was like my second mother. She was there when I needed her. She was like that to so many people. I know she has touched the lives of many people, including me. I love and miss her so much.

Its Saturday Octber 9th, 2010 and I got an infection don't worry Im taking my anti-biotics and dougs keeping me in check. I miss the way you'd go out of your way to cook me whatever I wanted, chiles rellenos, tacos sevrados and sopa de fedio. Life seems strange to me these days. I'm missing the simple everyday things you would do or say. Driving on the freeways, down El Cajon Blvd west towards UCSD hospital and tranqility I got whn I'd first see your face after not seeing in a while. What a beautiful place this earth is but It's alittle sadder without you in it. I will miss you for a long time to come but I walk each day knowing your out human pain and your sprit is floating somewhere high above mine. Im not looking at your beautiful smile and I know we we'll see each other somewhere down the line.
your son, Carlos

At first you didn't like me very much, and you were never shy about what you didn't like, but you came to love me like a son. We traveled many journeys together, with lots of tears, bursts of laughter, and together It was easier. To the end you never stopped fighting, and never stopped believing it was all going to be ok. And it is. I miss you so much more than i ever thought I would or could and when it seems to hurt too much I remember one of the last things you said to me ( "umm those are good peaches" though you really meant nectarines ) and I smile. Lots of Love and Happy Trails until we meet again! Your "other son ":)

Well grandma, I don't really know what to say. I love you so much and will miss you dearly. I have fond memories of birthday parties in your backyard, coming over when I was a kid and watching scary movies with you and my sister. Those memories will never die, so in essence you will never truly be dead so long as we keep you near us and cherish your memory, you will be missed but I take solace in knowing your in a better place and with our lord, and with that being said I know I will have yet another guardian angel in both you and Brandy watching over me and the entire family. So thank you for all the memories. You will never be forgotten. Your grandson JOEY

Mom, it's hard to find the words to express what I feel. I'm sad that you're gone, and I'm sad for the flicker of hope that I had which has vanished along with you. I will cherish the moments that we had together and hold them dear to my heart forever and ever. Now that you're in heaven and you can see my bare heart, you know that I always loved you. I have been thinking of you every day and only distractions keep your image from consuming me. I will mourn your death and the hope that is gone, but I will love you forever and forever you will be in my heart. I find comfort only in knowing that your suffering has ended. May the Lord have you in his bosom and may you have the peace and tranquility that only the Lord can give. I say goodbye to you with a broken heart in the knowledge that we will see each other again. With all the love that a child can have for her mother, farewell mommy. Mwah!!!

Since you haven't been around in body my head keeps telling me that you'll be returning home any day soon but I know thats not the case. I wish I could just see your face for aleast 5 minutes to claim my heart. I know you
are already starting a new form of live somewhere else because (all that you are) is to much for a one time go around. I think I was your parent the life before this one. I am certainly surewe had a couple of go arounds. I will do my best to walk a stright and fine line and will hold up Elsa if she stumbles. wow you are so MUCH to me.
Holidays will be a bit sad but i will get by.
Thinking of you often,

Maria, It was a true pleasure getting to know you over the past few months. Thank you for letting me into your life during this very trying time for you. I will never forget the day the three of us spent in little Italy eating lunch at your request to have lasagna, and then our trip around lake Mira Mesa. God Bless you and the memories you have left behind. Douglas Carlone

Maria-
You were and always will be a special part of my life. You treated me as one of your own, good and bad... me and your son struck up a life long friendship as kids, to this day I can still hear you motherly advice telling us not to drink too much, wear our seat belts and over all be very careful... We also had our special moments where we would slip away and hit the local casinos... great times we had... I love you and yes I got my eye on your son.... he will be okay!!
Love you Maria-

Hey mom its your son,
Good morning and thank you for this life you handed to me. You are and always will be my ROCK. Go with god and become the being you are ment to be because your work is far from done and this (earth)was just a phase for you. You bolted with flying colors and thats all one could ask for. I have a deep hole in my heart but all I have to do is look up atthe clouds and I know I can see you and talk to you.
Ya did me proud,
Your loving son,
Carlos
