To my dearest Mom you were like my best friend,and Sister. I could share any thing with you and you would share back with me I miss our talks! I miss you so much you were never a bother you were always a pleasure to take care of even when you got sick. Since you been away I have been so lonely for you. I never knew that it would be this way. I miss your pretty face and smile, your pretty green eyes,even your laughter in which I understood you. You had your own way of making me understand. Mom it is'nt the same without you in the living room it is so empty even after I change it around because i didnt want to keep looking at an empty spot. Dad is so lonely i could see it and tell, we will try to make the best of it. But for now it is so very hard to let go and we only have our memories however its still not the same I miss you every morning when i wake up to check on you if only i could take some days back and knew that you would be gone. But thats to late Iam so glad to spend the time with you I was able to do so. If it was up to me I would have kept you forever and ever Now you are my Angel and i will always be here for you love always you're daughter Peggy

Uncle Tino and family it was so good to see all of you, although the event was very difficult. We all have an appointed time of death when we are born and it was time for Aunt Stella's. I will always remember how she would greet me with "hi mija" and one of her great smiles! i know your family has been through alot these past years, but remember you don't have to do it alone! Jesus is always there for anyone who will seek HIM. So lean on Him for your strength and your comfort for the days to come. i love all of you and you will be in my prayers. God bless you.

I remember Stella when we were growing up, she always had a smile on her face. I also remember your grandmother, La Seniora Piedra's (What we called her) she was our babysitter when we were little...
We are praying for you.

Kathy,

My deepest sympathy. I'm so sorry to hear of your family's loss. I have good memories of your Mom when you and I used to hang out in high school. I learned a lot from her. May she rest in peace. God Bless you and your family.

Val (Tino) - On behalf of our family, "Alvarez" I want to convey my condolences to you and your family. We go way back when my dad (Vincent) would take us over to your house and your brother Henry for those great bbq's Stella was a beautiful person and always welcomed us with open arms, especially after my mom died. Bless you and your family..it's not easy when you loose someone you love dearly. Most of your life was with Stella, but the good thing is God gave you children and grand & great grand children to love.
