Guadalupe Aranda Obituary


Life's journey is short and sweet. A part of your journey interwined with ours; and what a beautiful sharing of experiences. Together we thank God for our sharing, the joys we shared, the hardships that we faced, the footprints you left upon our hearts. Thank you for being gifted. You showed us what a woman of God you were; you showed us strength, you brought laughter into our lives; and you taught us courage in carrying our cross. Life begins and ends with the will of our God and continues in eternal happiness with Him and you are finally home. We rejoice in your new life! We love you and your presence remains with us always.
