She was the best. Heart warming, humorous, and caring are some of the qualities that stand out about her. I remember it like it was yesterday when she used to rock me in her chair and make me smile and laugh till I was red in the face. Nothing will replace my grandmother and each day I will be thinking of her. Also to the family, keep your heads up as we go through this tough time. I love you all and wish I could've stayed longer for the memorial.

Lupe Gaspar.
