5 years and it´s still surreal, mom. I miss your beautiful smile, your unconditional love, and your wind beneath my wings. I find solace in the rainbows and hearts you send me. Thank you, mamita. You are and always will be my earthly queen mother. Someday, in the distant future, I will reunite with you and our heavenly Mother Mary. Love you forever and always! O. L. Hanna

It´s been 4 years today, mamita! You left us like an angel. You fell asleep and joined the angels in heaven, just like in the movies. Our Lord granted you the passing we all dream of, a quiet, painless, peaceful so long. You were His quiet, prayerful, faithful servant! Those of us who knew you intimately knew He gifted you with wisdom. How we miss that shared wisdom and encouragement. Oh if I could just call your cell, hear your voice or smell your beautiful perfume against your face one more time. Channel #5. (a classic like the classy mom and grandmother you were.)

Remembering you today mom!

Muchos besitos in heaven!

Your youngest who adored you,
Olga Lydia

I still remember our last day together, Mother, and every time I shed tears in your memory they´re of joy, not sorrow. I pray that heaven erects an everlasting rainbow as an eternal reminder of the love I feel for you. Can´t wait until we meet again, Mom. Have yourself a truly beautiful and sunny birthday in heaven. I am always with you in spirit. Happy Birthday!
Your loving daughter,
