We thank God for giving us the opportunity to be a part of "Great Grandma Chiquita's" life. My children referred to her as that. We talked last night about what great and wonderful memories we have. I appreciate the time God gave us with her, she saw my children from the day they were born! My son, Armando Silva, Jr is now 15 and my daughter, Isabelle (named after great grandma chiquita) is now 11. We will miss you!
