Angela Faye Gallegos, she was my grandmother and a very person in my life. As an extraordinary cake maker, I can remember the numerous special desiged birthday cakes she would make. My favorite cake as a child, was shaped like a doll and I almost hated having to cut into it. Eight years ago, I was again fortunate enough to have her make my wedding cake. She was an amazing candy maker, having all her grandkids over to make candy on the weekends, I'm sure we all ate more then we took home to share with our parents. My grandmother was a very skilled seamstress, having made countless outfits for my daughter and myself, some of which we still have. But her true passion, was in making quilts. My grandmother made quilts for her entire family and were given at birthdays, weddings and Christmas. We will treasure them forever. When I was diagnosed with ALS, on January 2015, it was my grandmother who held me and decided that she would say a rosary each night, for a cure. She came to my house and blessed me one year, something she did for her family when they were ill or traveling away from home on a trip. When it became to hard for me to leave the house, my grandmother had one if her sons bring her to my house for a visit. I'm blessed with the countless memories of her and her last video birthday recording she made for me this April, for my 50th. I will miss you grandma, but I know you're in a better place and once again reunited with grandpa.
