Graciela Hernandez-Cipriano Obituary
Chelis was born and raised in Las Cruces, New Mexico. She graduated from Las Cruces High School and Dona Ana Community College. After her college graduation, she worked for Familia Dental in Las Cruces. Chelis was a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and she always looked forward to Thanksgiving Day and watching the Cowboys football game with her family. Chelis' hobbies included spending quality time with her daughter and family, and watching and playing basketball and soccer. Chelis would light up the room with her contagious and beautiful smile. She was loyal to her family and friends and she was loved by all who knew her.
"A MILLION TIMES"
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
If all the world was ours to give,
We would give it yes, and more,
To see you coming up the steps,
And walking through the door.
To hear your voice and see your smile,
To sit and talk a while,
To be with you that same old way,
Would be our fondest day.
A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two smiling eyes closed to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
