Not sure what to say?

Me and my sister, Sandra , absolutely adored Emita and her husband who were family to us. Emita never forgot us on birthdays and holidays. She was a remarkable lady of class and beauty! She was our godmother. She is seated on the left with my sister is and on the right me and godmother Clemen Goodman.

Tia Emma attended my baby shower and baptism. I still have her hand written notes. Every time we saw each other she made a special effort to spend time with me. For my high school graduation she gave me a necklace and they way she gave it to me it was as if it had been pure gold. She and your dad had a lot of faith in me. I used to think they must have been soothsayers. I observed how hard she worked to bring success to the family for so many years. Gracious Tia Emma, may you rest in...

Beauty, kindness, and brains in one. Tia Emma's personality and elegance were attributes that complemented uncle Mario's bright and gifted mind. My condolences to cousins, nephews, and aunts who will miss her immensely. May the Lord shine His face over her noble soul that now rests in peace with her beloved husband and daughters.

Doña Emmita bonita de porte inglés! Cuantos momentos compartidos, risas, cantando, canciones de la niñez, aventuras de su adolescencia, la historia de su matrimonio, su libro, los brindis usted con una Margarita yo con una Coca Cola disfrutando los mariachis , escuchando Amor Eterno” y un sin fin de memorias, anécdotas que compartimos .
Gracias por todos los consejos , por darme la oportunidad de trabajar para usted. Dios quiso tenerla con él para firmar parte de sus ángeles

She was a very special aunt and I am glad she got to live a full and happy life and she will be sorely missed. I love you Tia

Perhaps it is fitting to learn of Mrs. Castro's passing on Easter Sunday! Most assuredly she is taking the helm at the Easter Parade!
Grateful Sandi is reunited with her Mom again..

I offer you my thoughts, prayers and well-wishes during this this time in your life. Thessalonians 4:14For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.
