Alma C Arvizu

Tia Alma,
I miss you and I love you!

Hi Tia Alma,
Love you too!

Hey sis,
We always had that special bond that sisters have. I will always remember all the great memories that we created. You were always there for me till the very end. I miss talking to you about whatever, we always had great conversations. we always laughed together and cried together and now words can't even explain this void I feel inside. Although I know you are not suffering and are not in pain anymore my heart does not seem to understand for it aches. Sis, I miss you, I love you and can't wait for the day that we will see each other again....Un dia estaremos todos alla reunidos en la precencia de Dios

Tia,
I'll always remember your last words to me "love you chunky"
Gonna miss you and you will always be in my heart.
I love you Tia Alma.

Sister,
There are no words that I can write to express how much I miss you. There are so many memories that I could write about us of the things we shared as sisters from growing up together on the ranch, to spending our summers in Hermosillo as kids, going to our church youth camp in California as teenagers and even attending the same high school together with our 80's hairstyle (yikes!). Those are the memories that I will hold close to my heart foreverwhat we did together as sisters! I've been missing you everyday!

To Alma's dear, dear family,
How we all prayed; but for we reasons that we can't understand, it was God's will. I feel privileged to have known Alma and to have seen the amazing love that you shared with her. Thank God for having her in your lives. What a precious gift you were given!
I will always remember the loving soul that I saw in her beautiful eyes.
I know that God has wrapped his arms around Alma, but I also pray that he is by your sides to help you through this difficult time.
God Bless...

"You little rascal", I can still hear you calling me this when I was younger. The love you showed me touched my heart. Not once did I ever hear or see you complain about anything. Throughout your battle you stayed positive and gave GOD all the glory. You'll always be in my heart. I Love You. Save a place for me in Heaven.

To the Cecena and Arvizu families, may god bless you and your love ones during this hard time no words can take the pain away. Your mother was a beautiful person inside and out I worked with her at the census and she expressed how much she loved her family very much I will miss your warm and cheerful waves and smiles between shifts at the census may you rest in peace in heaven

Hey ma!
I know you're having a good time in heaven. We all miss you. I know you're not here in person but you're watching me in heaven! Me and Tia Nora had a great dream about you. I'm gonna continue going to school because that's all you ever wanted from me. It's gonna be hard not seeing you in person at my graduation this year and senior year but, you'll be watching me in heaven. Me, Josue, and Alyna miss you dearly! But I know that this is not the end like Alyna said "it's only the beginning" we will see eachother again I guarantee it. Every time I see a picture again I remember the times when we would do stuff together.. Thank you for trying your hardest to put up with us and dad. I love you ma

Hey mom!
Hope you're having a good time in heaven seeing Jesus and getting a grand tour of heaven! I had a dream about you it was so awesome! I'm gonna go to school and make you proud, that was all you ever asked for from me. You won't see me graduate in person but you'll be watching me graduate in heaven. Me, Alyna, and Josue are heart broken that you have past but we know that you are in a better place. I just want you to know that this is not the end, it's only the beginning, and we will meet again. I love you mommy...see you later❤

MUJER DE PIES A CABEZA

Fuiste mi primera alegría
Desde el día que te vi nacer
Pronto ganaste corazones
Por tu forma de proceder

Siempre fuiste primera
Y tranquila te vi crecer
Mujer de pies a cabeza
Hasta el día de tu partir

Huellas dejaste en tu andar
Muchos Amigos en la vida
Y una hermosa familia
Que te supieron cobijar

Nunca ofendiste a nadie
Porque no era tu condición
Respetaste opiniones
Que guardaste en el corazón

Iniciaste un gran anhelo
Amaste y te entregaste entera
Procreaste una gran familia
Y les entregaste la vida entera

Nos dejas un gran legado
Valores aprendidos en el hogar
Una historia que has logrado
Y una actitud difícil de superar

Dejas tres velas encendidas
Con la flama perenne del amor
Y con tus grandes enseñanzas
Brillarán con más fulgor

Bendito cielo que te ha recibido
Tu luz lo hará más brillar
Ahora se ve divino
Porque guía mi caminar

Alma de mi alma
Te has llevado mi corazón
Hoy quiero guardar la calma
Para no perder la razón

Siempre fuiste primera
Y tranquila te vi crecer
Mujer de pies a cabeza
Hasta el día de tu partir.

Mis mas sinceras condololencias a Gilberto, Manuelita, Nora, Linda, su esposo e hijos.

My heart felt condolences to the families. May God bless you all with comfort during this somber time. Prayers and love always.

Hi mommy,

My bestfriend... I could not ask for a better mother because God blessed me with the most amazing mother in the world. Thank you for loving and caring for me. Thank you for always being by my side and supporting me. Thank you for being there for me through the good/bad times. I will forever cherish our funny, sad, and silly memories that we shared together. Our mother/daughter relationship will forever and always be one of a kind. I am the luckiest daughter in the world because there will never be anyone like you. You are my angel and no one can ever replace you in my heart. It will always be hard to understand and except that your gone, but I know in my heart that God's special plan for you was much more greater. Although you are not here anymore and nothing will ever be the same without you, I know this is not the end. It is only the beginning. You live in me and are my heart. All that I am and ever hope to be, I owe to you my angel mother and I will do my best to make you proud. I love you through the stars, past the moon, and now into heaven. I know I will see you again mommy in paradise and when that day comes, it will be the most beautiful feeling in the world. My faith and trust in God is what I live for and I can't wait for that moment to come when I am with you again my beautiful angel..until then, I will always miss you mommy..
Your daughter,

Tia Alma, I miss and love so much. It will be hard to get used to a life without you but I know God's plan for you was much greater than ours. You will always have a special Place in my heart and one day we will see each other again. "Niani" loves you and will always be thinking of you!

My dear friend Alma Zita, I am holding on to the many and great memories we had together when we were little. The many times we spent together at the sleepovers, laughing and being silly. You always showed me so much love and care; I remember when you let me borrow a nice, warm and pretty winter coat for the whole winter. I remember you told me; keep it until is not cold anymore. Another time you let me borrow your beautiful gold bracelet just because you saw how much I liked it. The list can go on and on...
Thank you for being such caring and great friend to me...We will see eachotheragain, but this time in heaven..
Your friend,

Alma will be missed. She was a very nice person. Always with a smile. May God Bless you all during this difficult time.

To the Cecena and Arvizu families: It is never easy to say goodbye to a loved one. I pray that your faith in GOD will be the light in your darkest moments. I worked with ALMA at the State of Arizona and the Census Bureau and I will miss her genuine smile and sincere personality. Her family is blessed to have such a wonderful person to share the many memories. Keep your faith and trust that someday you will be reunited with ALMA in paradise. Vaya con DIOS amiga.
