Our Dearest Nana Grande,
You are truely missed and I am always grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ for the times we were able to visit with you, especially knowing that you were there to spend time with your great grandson Saul. It's great to hear of the beautiful memories he shares about you with us. We love you so much and you'll always be missed forever. If anyone that's been blessed, it's the lives that you've touched. You had given us many years. Please continue to pray for each one of us and tell Jesus to continue to keep watch over us each day of our life, until we meet again. Love You Nana, Always your Grandkids Marty and Mary, and great grandkids Kristin, Ashley, and Saul

Dear Lily & George, We know what a void in your life there will be without your mother. Most children do not have as many wonderful years that you have enjoyed with her. She will always be here in spirit and happy family memories! Both of you were always there to support your mom and she loved you both very much for that.

May this candle of light continue to glow throughout the days in honor of Tia Santos. I have felt so much honor to have been part of Tia Santos' family. I will always keep her and Tio Raul in my heart and mind. I loved the times that they would come visit my Auntie Eva and Uncle Rey in Casa Grande. Truly amazing people in the Rivera Family. May GOD continue to watch and guide all of you through this time of your loss. But keep in mind she is HIS gain. Love you always.
