Grandma you have been in my dreams for this entire week. In my dreams you are back with us and I literally can feel my kiss against your cheek. Wish you could be here with my boys. You would have continued to get a kick out of them. You got to enjoy their first 2 years and their 3rd year you were very sick, but they still spent time playing in the living room while you slept. Miss our talks and miss you as my boys turn another year older! One day we will be back together. Happy Grandpa is with you now. One day we will all be back together.

The Moreno family has been great friends and neighbors to the Jones family for decades. Our families became good friends, Mrs Moreno was so special to our family, when my parents needed help, because they had to be at work early in the mornings and needed someone to watch my sister and I every morning and make sure we caught the school safely, Mrs Moreno stepped up and took care of us every morning and sent us off safely with her children, she was our guardian angel. And years later when I got married and had children, when I lived with my parents for a short time in Selma, I always needed someone to watch my daughters and Mrs.Moreno once again stepped up and took wonderful loving care of my daughters Amber and Ashley Williams. We will never forget Mrs.Moreno, she will always be special in our hearts. And we will always treasure out wonderful memories of her. Rest In Paradise Mrs. Moreno. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to the Moreno Family your are all in our prayers With Love Linda Jones-Williams, Amber and Ashley Williams and the JONES FAMILY

I didn't have the privilege of knowing Ellen but if her daughter is a reflection of her, I missed out on a great lady!
My deepest condolences to Gina and the rest of the Moreno family.

We will miss you so much, Grandma. So many years of caring for us grandkids after raising 9 kids of your own! And the the great grand kids too! :) We were so lucky. I wish we would have realized it more as young kids and adults. Every drive to and from school, to the library, to the Fair, to trips to 'Penny's for photos and then a trip to the Fresno Met Museum. Breakfast and sometimes dinner 5 days a week, taking care of us when we were sick, when we became teenagers, headaches and crying and all that. I'm so glad we got to go to a Giants game with you and Grandpa and to Dodger stadium in 2016 to cheer Beat LA! (and the Giants won!-a one hitter against the Dodgers! ha!).

My Mom had more than enough love for any child she knew and for her pets. She always had at least two or more dogs. No cats.
She loved her granddogs too including my little dog Molly who passed a few months ago.

Mrs Moreno would get my girls from school when I worked. I will always be grateful.
I also was able to see the funny side of her, especially on our lady retreats.

Sister Moreno took care of my daughter in the nursery. She loved them like they were her own. Faithful, dedicated, servant of our Lord. Rest in peace and rise in Glory.
