Merry Christmas auntie Cristina

Love you Aunt Christina

Mom I have the knowledge that you hated that picture wasn't your best side. I miss you every stinking day

Ok so now that I figured it out on my cellular device ! Sheesh... Christina was my beautiful mom...I was always her " right hand man " she would say . My mom was a very intelligent woman that could always figure things out whether it be for us her children or various family members. Growing up I remember that we may not have had much but we had a roof over our head and our clothes were clean and we always had food on the table . One tough year when we finally rented a house she took the $ 75.00 dollars from child support and bought us bunk beds ! So we lived for awhile on the "greens " we all picked from various parks like Fairmont Park...my mom taught me so many things at such a young age that I got the picture and the frame years ago. Thanks for being my mom and my best friend , my back -up partner in crime ,my teacher ,my confidant
my hero , my fan , thank you for telling all of your children that you are beautiful and smart and there is not a dang thing you can't do no matter what ! I love and will always miss you...here I go " Cindy ! " did you cry ? Don't give anyone the upper hand ! Yes mom for the last while I have cried...( and yes my green eyes have taken the thingy ) Love you Mom !

Dear Aunt Christina,
Thank you for taking my mother's ashes to Park City cemetery and giving her a special place next to yours and her siblings. My siblings and I visited our mothers grave in the summer of 2023. The last time we were all together was after my mom passed in 1998. You gave us a precious gift. Thank you Aunt Christina.
Love, Maria

When I was a child, Grandma would help me fall asleep by kissing her index finger then stroked my eyebrows while singing sweet songs to me. I remember how comfortable and safe I felt when she would do that, and it would put me out every time. Grandma sang all the time and most songs she made up. She had sweet songs, but she also had some hilarious songs too. All the songs were catchy, and I remember most of them to this day. Grandma probably talked as much as she sang and that was fun.

Grandma was proud of her yard, and I had a lot of fun times with my cousins in that beautiful jungle wonderland. But now as an adult I look back and can really appreciate the roses she planted in the front garden. She planted different colored roses for each of her grandchildren then named them after us kids. My rose bush was called "Christina Blue Girl", and it was beautiful. Although my grandma had her faults I have so many beautiful memories with her and keep them close to my heart. I learned a lot from her, and we had a lot of fun. I have a lot of my grandma in me and will pass some of her eccentricities to my own grandchildren.

I want to thank my grandma for all the good times we shared, and I hope she knows how much I love her.

she was my mom
