Dear Family Of Nacha,
I had the privelege of caring for your dear Mother/Grandmother/family,for just a short time. Yet I could see what a loving and great family unit all of you are; I could tell Nacha was one of those "one of a kind" special people by the way you all rallied around her. I know you must miss her greatly, but I do believe she is in a better place without pain or sorrow, and smiling down upon you all as you gather together in her memories. I wish I would meet more families like yours when I am in this position. I'm truly sorry for your loss, but I believe heaven has regained one of the angels.
Sincerely, Linda Cowman

With my deepest sympathy I am sorry for the loss of a very close family friend Nacha. I have often spoke about the memories I have when I was a little girl, watching her walk down the street always with a smile. She never passed by without saying Hi or waving to us. She will be remembered as a family member to us. Christine M. Pena-Alvarado & Pena family

To Her Children and Grandchildren You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.
