Not sure what to say?

Mrs Mendivil was a kind, supportive, sweet, strong and intelligent woman. I met her a Kino Jr. High when I worked there as part of the office staff. We didn't have much time together but she sure did make a big impression on me. I have always thought about her throughout the years and wondered how she was. You were truly lucky and blessed to have had her in your life. My condolences to you all. May she rest in peace. Will always remember you Alice.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. May your memories comfort your heart; and God help the Mendivil family during this time of sorrow. Isa.41:13

I met Alice when I taught English at Kino Junior High in Mesa, Arizona for seven years. Alice was a great example and taught the students manners. For example, one day she told me how she saw immigrant students refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. She told them, "Even if you are not a citizen of this country, the right thing to do is to stand respectfully." She was truly an example of a fine lady in so many ways. Godspeed, Alice. Love, Donna Erno

I'm sorry i didn't get to meet this amazing person whom God created wonderfully. I know from reading about her, she will be terribly missed. Rest in peace in God's heavenly garden. Prayers for comfort for all who are left behind.

My nana will be truly missed, as she is the rock and soul of our family. There is a void here now that we will never fill, our holidays and family gatherings won't be the same without her. My memories of her will be cherished forever. My heart aches knowing I will never see or hug her again during my lifetime, and the only thing that eases this tremendous loss to our family is knowing that she is no longer in pain and has been reunited with those she loves who have passed before her. I love...

You will be Greatly Missed, I Thank You for being a Second Mom to me. You have Fought the Good Fight, Now Rest in God's Arms!!! I Love YOU Forever!!

Flower, I would like this time to thank you for the countless hours of encouragement and support you gave me, You taught me a lot about self respect and to stand up for your beliefs, I will never forget the wonderful hours we would spend each year making tamales and our long talks.. you are such a beautiful person, I will miss you very much but I will never forget you .. I liveyou beautiful Flower.♡

I know there are no words that will ease the pain of losing a beautiful person such as Flower. I pray that God will lead you all during this difficult time and hope you all find comfort in knowing that you now have a special guardian angel to watch over you. Our condolences to the Mendivil family.

Much love and God Bless,

Ysco Family

Flower was a dear friend of mine when we worked at Komar of Arizona as teenagers. The photo is of us wearing the Komar p.j.'s. She was one of the sweetest, and kindest friends I ever had. I'm so sorry we lost touch and if I had known her married name, I would have contacted her. I've thought of her so many times through the years.
