Maria R. Leon

Hello my Dear Mother, How I will miss you every day. I will miss calling you, it was great to bounce things off you or simply have conversations about anything or anyone. You worked hard to provide for us, you gave from your heart, you helped your family even when we were in need. You helped open my eyes to helping people freely, it's a gift to help without anything in return. I love you, always did. We had our problems but we learned to work through them with God's help, we came to a place where we could love each other and I thank God for and I thank God for you. Love you Mom, you're in my heart and my one true love.

Thank you for all of the years of smiles, laughter, the amazing food and the caring but always completely honest conversations that we shared. Most of all thank you for loving & caring for Clare in the way that you & Aunt Neddy have. We love you, "Lala" & our hearts will never forget you.

Maria was a wonderful stepmother and gramdmother. I met her during my teenage years. She was always sweet and loving. She welcomed our family into hers and treated us as if we were her own. I was honored to have her as a stepmother and grandmother to my children. She was always there for me when i needed somebody to talk to. She was a wonderful role model to myself and those around her. I will always remember her sweet smile and beautiful nature. I pray that God comforts our family in this time of sorrow.

Our strength and wisdom come from you and always will. We will always remember Tia Chita as a willful, intelligent and beautiful woman. We all learned to never quit from you Tia. Rest In Peace and thank you for everything you have left with us. Love you always, Clarissa cerda arevalos

How painful death of a loved one can be. My empathy for your loss of a mother, grandmother, great-grand mother, and friend. May you find comfort from the God of all comfort who will give your family the strength needed.

My favorite memory of Tia is running up Santa Monica from granma and granpas house and before I can run wild in Tias house a big hug and a kiss had to be given before I can do anything.
To think that was so long ago but is still fresh in my heart and mind...
Tia was a pillar of strength and beauty inside and out, she will be missed and I am so sorry you lost your mom...
Love you always,
your prima Roni

May the God of all comfort give you his peace during your time of loss to help you endure. Phillipians 4: 6,7
