Hi Mom,
It is 3 weeks today that you left us. It has not gotten any easier, I am so lost and lonely without you. When the phone rings I think it's you. I have a hard time going shopping because we always went together. I know you are with me in spirit, but I wish I could hear your voice, hold your hand and laugh with you like we us to do. All I can say now is Lord help me be strong to live without you here. I am trying to keep our family strong. I am taking care of Richie like you asked.
Your funeral was beautiful. It was a celebration of your life. You would have been proud of the kids, they did a great job honoring you. They took good notes on you. We all have lots of great memories of you. Thank you for being our Mother and Father and for raising us right. I can't wait to be with you again. I love you Mom, my best friend, my Queen.

Hi Barb and Richie just found out about your mom and my dear friend, neighbor and teacher, Trina, as Mr Easter used to call her.
What a riot she was, such a clever sense of humor!!! We spent many wonderful times together.
I remember when we were adding on to our Highland ave home how she intructed us how to install wallboard. I often used to think about your wonderful mom and I'm sure I was somewhere back of her mind. She will be missed.
Fran (Frankie) and George Sanchez.

Hi Grandma. This is Ronnie Jr. You helped to raise me, and you helped me with my schooling as I was growing up. I will never forget the wonderful memories we all have of you. There is a heavy strain on my heart and soul right now. I will try to stay strong and move forward so that I can take care of my family. You were the strongest person I have ever known.
