Thank you Michelle for having this Memory Book for my Tia Monica. It's been 13 years since she has left us, and I can still clearly hear her laughter and witty remarks. I can also hear your dads voice, distinct with a Honduran accent, and of course he spoke Spanish fluently. I remember he worked at the gas station on the corner of Apache and Rural Rd 65 to 70 years ago. Damn that's a long time but ago! But I remember him well. He was a handsome vato. My Tia Monica was a beautiful women...

I remember when she came to stay with my mom, her sister Margie for a couple of weeks way back in the 60's. Her and my mom had a blast together. My Tia Monica had a really good sense of humor.

Tia Monica,
Well all the memories of you are beautiful, their funny and happy memories. You were a trickster, a joker, a loving tia, and my mom loved you dearly. I remember a lot of the times you came to visit and stay with us in California, needless to say you and my mom had a lot of good times here and in Arizona. My mom knew how to party big time! I remember my Tio Mauricio very well too. They were a beautiful couple.

Tia Monica,thank you for the beautiful memories of you with my mom, you and Tio Morris and how you joked about his accent when you first started dating. A LOVING THANK YOU TIA for having shared some delightful memories; and a special thanks to you Michelle for this special book, it's a true gesture of a daughters' love for her mom. With LOVE, your nephew and Michelle, your Primo.

Mom,You were never much on words but you always agreed I was right even when I wasn't.You were the Hyde who made me smile the most with the helpless antics you pulled on me throughout the years. Give dad a big hug for me. See you when I get to the other side. Love, Robin (Marks wife)

Tia Monica, thank you for being in my life, for your beautiful smiles and sweet memories of your laughter, your smart remarks and witty jokes. You'll always be loved and missed. You'll be in my heart forever. Your oldest nephew, MIKIE.
