Dear Grandma,
I will miss you dearly and I love you. I am so happy & blessed to have a Grandmother like you. I never knew what it was like to have a Grandmother in my life who has so much unconditional love for everyone. I will never forget the nights during nursing school and being with you. You made me feel so safe, welcomed, and loved. I will never forget the visiting & talking with you and it will be cherished forever. I pray that our children never forget you and Tommy & I will do our best to remind them of all the good loving affection you gave them.
I believe my mom has put certain woman in my life who are like a mother to me and you are one of them. Now you will be our guardian angel in Heaven watching over us always.
Grandma I Love You & will miss you always. You will live forever in our hearts. Ruthie Chacon

Grandma,
I miss our visits and you so much. Thank you for accepting me into your family from the first day I met you. I felt very honored when you would introduce me as your grandaughter and honored to be a part of this wonderful family. You raised beautiful children and grandchildren. I will always love you and you will live in our hearts forever. My promise to you is that I will always make sure Michelle knows who you are and all of the wonderful memories we have of you. I love you Grandma.

A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says, "Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don't worry about falls
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes we're together again

Lucy was a bright light at our Saint Agnes Adult Day Health Center. Her warm, caring presence was loved by staff & other clients. Lucy participated for many years in my small Social Work group. She often shared loving thoughts of her family and so appreciated their support. We loved Lucy for her kind nature and her flair for dressing well; cute jewelry, socks, etc. Thank you Sandoval family for sharing Lucy with us.
