We are praying for all the family that the Lord will bring confort at this time that our tia went to rest with our Lord. There a story that I remember that our Mother used to say to us. When my uncle and her first got married I guess she was very young she used to play doll's with our older sister Angie. My Dad and Mom were very close to them because he was the little brother. Tia Celia will always be remember in our hearts, her genorosity, love for her nices & nephews, and that great laughter that she had that it would shine room. I just love this picture it shows her laughter. Sorry we can't be their with all of you but, we also grieving the departure of our beloved tia. Love and Praying all Mary (Saldivar) & Alfredo Jimenez
