To all my cousins in San AnTone,
I send my love and a big hug. Although, I am crying and very sad today, I will find a way to smile because I will think of my Tia. I will always love her. There's a big party in Heaven this week!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Father, I pray for Montemayor Family and others in my circle of family and friends who are grieving...

When they're hurting, help them find their joy in You, for it's Your joy that will be their strength. Help them to trust You as their God of hope. Fill them with Your joy, peace, and hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Help them experience the love, joy, and peace that are the results of His life in them, no matter what they're going through. (Nehemiah 8:10b; Romans 15:13; Galatians 5:22)

May they sense Your presence in this hour of need. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Dear Montemayor Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with each one of you; daughters, sons, grand children and great-grand children. Tia Luisa was dear and I will never forget her words of encourgement when I too had been diagnosed with breast cancer. I still hold her cards and letters very close and will always keep them. Her words of encourgement to keep the lord and our faith in our hearts meant a lot. She will be missed by many; my dad, Nieves and her many many love ones, she will never be forgotten. God bless you all.
Love Cousin, Sylvia Pena

Dear Montemayor Family:

My heart is broken that I can't be there with you all. I love Tia as my mother and she was after my Mom passed away. She was always there for me and in my time of need. Her memory will alway be with me in my heart. The Lord has called her to be with the Angles in heaven along side with Uncle Mike, Irma, her sisters and brothers. God Bless you all and may he give you the peace and strength in the days ahead. Cousins I will be thinking of you all.

Love,
Rosalinda & Julio
