Mom!

I miss you! I love you! Words can't express the gratitude in my heart for being your son! I loved your quick-witted sense of humor and often found myself saying something that would elicit a quick and funny response from you. I know your only Grandchild, OLIVHEA loved your personality and impeccable style. I am fortunate to have a treasure of memories of my Mom that will live in my heart forever.

Mom, you fulfilled the hopeful wish of a teenage girl that gave birth to me I like to think that all she wanted for me was a warm loving family and a nurturing childhood! Please know you, Dad and Jimbo created a loving family for me to grow up in! Thank you for being such a loving Mom!

Love Always and Forever,
Your Son

Yvonne,

Was a big part of my family since I remember. She was best friend with my parents and they had a lot of fun many times.
A great lady that loved her family and never forgot her beloved town of Arecibo. She moved out of Arecibo but Arecibo never moved out of Yvonne.
Rest in peace and have fun with Cuca in heaven. I bet both of you are having drinks up there.

Love,

Félix Santos
