Words cannot express how much you will be missed by all who knew you. You will continue to be with us in our hearts and minds. I am so grateful to have gotten to know you on such a personal level and am thankful that you were a mom to me as well. You never knew a stranger and always went out of your way with your caring and generosity to everyone you knew.

Things won't be the same without you around to pick on Angel and the rest of your family and friends, but we will continue to cherish the times spent with you. Your sense of humor will be missed greatly as you kept all of us on our toes with your wit. I'll never forget our menudo mishap either!

I love you.

I am going to miss you soooo much! Although things won't ever be the same, I know that you and grandpa are looking down on us from Heaven. I have soo many great memories growing up in the ranch and I'll never forget those times we spent together. There's just soo many things I'm going to miss, like watching novelas w/you. But your home now and patiently we'll see you in Heaven. I love you grandma!

BEST Grandparents in the WORLD!

I love you granma. On some levels, I always figured you would have out-lived me. I can't believe your gone, but I'm glad your not in the hospital anymore. Thank you for the little church, and for teaching me that you truly can live in this world and never have a bad thing to say about anybody. I still have Pete's turtles, and when I get my own home I'm going to put them in the bathroom just like you had them when I was a little kid. All of my life, you always made me feel special, and I'll never forget that. I'm going to tell my children, and their children, how you loved each and every one of us. (seemingly thousands) Most of all, thank you for the best daddy any guy could ever ask for.

Mom, I Love You & miss you very much. When I walk into your room it just doesn't seem real to me that you're gone. I walked in there last night looking for a hat of dad's for Frank & just laid in your bed thinking of the conversations we had....the times i interupted your telenovelas....or just to check on you....I can't believe your gone!....but the only thing that keeps me smiling is the fact how much you missed your family in heaven. I would be selfish to keep you away from that, but YOU spoiled me so now I have to be patient....and you know me...but Mom, I just want to thank you for EVERYTHING that you done for me & my family. I Love You!!

Love you forever,
Angel Steven Leal "Coach"
