Tia Rosie is truly unforgettable in all the lives she has touched. She holds a special place in our family's heart. We were separated through a divorce but our Tia Rosie always held a place for us in her heart and in the family. She kept in touch through the years and made sure we knew our cousins. We had so many adventures with our cousins and so many fond memories of the times we spent together. What a special gift she gave us. When we think of Tia Rosie, our hearts are filled with so much joy and pride. We cared so much for Tia Rosie that our whole family had to be there to say good bye. We will hold a special place in our hearts for her and we will continue her legacy to keep in touch with the family. Until we see each other again, all of our love. Julia, Louie, Frank, Ted, David and Donald Castro

Nana,
You will always be my one and only Nana!! No words can explain how much heartache we all are going through because God decided to take you back home but we know you are no longer in pain. You truly showed us women in the family how to be stong willed and and so loving, I will never forget you nana and Ill continue to share our memories with my baby girls so they never forget what a wonderful woman you are. I still don't understand why you were put through all of this but as the saying goes "God doesn't give us anything we can't handle" and you were a trooper nana, you really were. I love you sooo much and I'll always miss you. I'll be seeing you again some day. Love always and forever,
Your "Tete" Christy

You were our rock, the glue that held our family together, but now you are our missing link. I know you grew tired and it was time to leave us, we will truly miss you the rest of our lives. You taught us so much, but the most important thing you taught us was how to love with our whole heart. What a beautiful Lady you were Mama, It saddens me to know you had to suffer so much, but now it is all over and you are in Our Lord Jesus' house having a big celebration with Him and all your family. May you rest in eternal peace, until we meet again, all my love, your daughter Josie Rioseco.

I can honestly say, that the world has lost a very special person!And heaven has another angel.I now have another angel in my corner looking down on me! I will truly miss you Nina, but never forget you! You were and will continue to be a huge influence in my life.
Love Always,
Your Godson.
