Para La Familia Carrillo..it was a great honor and a privilege to of known Dona Francisca Carrillo .... she lived such a wonderful fullfilled and very blessed life...she was such an inspiration to us all...the seed that she planted the legacy that she left behind, in her sons and daughters has truly been a blessing... the word of GOD says that to be absent in the body is to be present with the LORD. so i'm beleiving that Dona Francisca is in our Heavenly Father's Kingdom walking around and dancing on streets paved of gold.... GOD's promise to us is that as soon as she stepped into Glory she was restored to as when she was a youth, young healthy and strong. La Familia Escobedo and the Familia San Miguel will forever treasure the memories that we shared with her; the dinners the parades ,the trips the birthday parties, Lisa's Quienceniera and most of all her smile and the warmth she always showed towards Lisa from the very beginning. i pray that GOD strengthens all of the family members of her legacy. and i pray that everytime your hearts get overwhelmed with hurt and pain from missing her so much... i pray that you call out the name of the LORD........JESUS........ he promises to mend and heal the broken hearted. JESUS promises to give you peace and comfort as he holds your hand and as he embraces you as he walks you through this storm.......JESUS.... is your strength......JESUS...... is your healer GOD BLESS ,QUE DIOS LOS BENDIGA Robert, Sandra, Bobby, Lisa, and Daniel

The Memory of My Little Nana’s Love

Little Nana always held my heart,
Right from the very start.
Her arms were open wide.
She had the safest place to hide.
Inside of Little Nana’s hug,
I was safe and snug.
Little Nana made me happy,
Because she loved me.
Little Nana wiped my tears,
And chased away my fears.
Little Nana’s love will always be,
A precious memory to me!
We Miss You Very Much, Little Nana!

It is difficult to find the proper words to befittingly honor the memory of Francisca Carillo. It is evident that her presence warmed many hearts and made impressions on many minds. It was a privilege to have known her. Her warm gaze and spunky sense of humor will be missed. We send our sincerest condolences to her grieving family and all who loved her.

I love you and I will always miss you!!!!!! I know your whatchin down on all of us and smilling
I know your in a better place and I will see you one day! I Love You!!!! Miss You Marcos...



To My Nana...
Every morning I ask myself why
For I know I shall never see her again
It makes me want to cry
I never even got to say
Good-Bye
I know she is safe
But why
Did she have to leave
She was A Mother
She was A Nana,
and even
A Little Nana, A Friend.
Why now?
WHY

We Love & Miss You

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss.
Your mother was a very blessed lady and she lived a wonderful life full of love and laughter.
May she continue to inspire you to carry on and go forward in everything you do, I am sure she would not have wanted it any other way.
Larry you had a wonderful relationship with your mother that many of us take for granted. And for that, I would like to thank you for opening our eyes to cherish our loved ones/parents while we can.
May God continue to guide you spiritually through this difficult time.
May the peace of God be with you (John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you…”)

GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS

Nana,
I remember soft and gentle hands,
Reaching out to hold my hand.
I remember warm and loving arms,
which hugged us so tight.

Someone that I could run to,
and always made things right.
An ear that would patiently listen,
and someone who always cared.

There's something rare and wonderful God placed in a Nana's heart. Something he knew a child would need right from the very start.

Heaven has a place reserved
for Nana's sweet and kind;
But I had a little heaven on earth,
in the Nana I called mine.

You will always be in our hearts Nana.


Love Your,
Grandaughter: Monica Gonzales &
Greatgrandaughter: Cynthia Gonzales

Dear Nana,
I know that you are in a better place, where ther is no pain, sorrow, or grief. You have given us so much in the 94 years you were in our lives. We knew as a family that time would only tell when you would leave us in body.

I am GREATFUL for all you've given us and all you have left behind. But most of all GREATFUL that you are now our Guardian Angel among all of the Guardian Angels that have passed before you like Tata, Nick, Tina, my Dad and other Nana and Tata.

I will always have a special place in my heart for you and may GOD Bless you and keep you till we meet again forever!

Love your Grandaughter,
