My dearest sister, our lives have never been the same since you were called home. We think of you always and your love is always in our heart.

Aunt Veronica
Today, we laid Grandma Arsola to rest, right next to you as she wished. After you left this earth, I know one thing she longed for was to reunite with you again someday. Now the time has come
I visited your grave today, and I started to wonder how it would´ve been to talk to you if you were still on this earth. When you passed I was only 18, but now I´m older and I would have loved to know you as an older adult. But just as grandma is now with you, one day you and I will meet again too. Until then, I´ll ask God to continue to watch over your boys, and family here on this earth.

My dearest sister, Veronica, it’s your little brother Mario. How the years have passed, since you went home to be with Lord our GodI think of you often and my heart hurts so much, wondering and thinking how awesome it would be to see you again. But the Lord father has plans for all of us. With love in my heart for Jesus Christ our savior, I know we will reunite joyfully in Heaven. I know you’re always with us, and we love and miss you very muchAlways your little brother Mario ❤

Well, aunt Veronica, here we are 13 years later. Now I’m an adult and realize how important family is. I only knew you as a kid but now as an adult I can only imagine how amazing it would have been to know you. I’m pretty sure we would’ve gotten along so Well. My mother says I remind her of you... the way I speak and laugh. Lol. Wish I could have spent more time with you, but I know one day we will meet again and get to laugh together . Rest in heaven angel.

My Dearest Daughter, I miss you so very much. I love you dearly. I remember the times we spent together laughing and talking. I have asked the Lord to always let me remember your laugh and your voice, and he has answered my prayer. I hear your laughter I remember your beautiful smiley face. Your eyes always had a smile. Your smile always brightened my heart. You always made me feel special. I told you once you make me feel special just you being here, and you told me, "You all make me feel special like that too Mom". Thank you for your special love you gave me and us. It will always be with us, forever. God Bless and Love you, Mom.
Give Jesus a message from me, TELL HIM HI.

Aunt Veronica,
It's almost 3 years since you passed, and my view on life has changed ever since. I have learned to never take my loved ones for granted, and to cherish this life that god has given us. Please watch over me, and guide me to make all the right decisions to make you proud. You will always be my inspiration, and though you are not here, you will always be in my heart. I love you Aunt Veronica, shine your beautiful smile in heaven.. for you are an angel.

Dear Johnny,
It is so hard to believe it has been two years since your daughter has passed. Pat and I regularly hold her up in our prayers that Lord will give all in her family peace. It is not right for parents to lose their children, nor is right that husbands and children lose their wife and mothers. It is not for us to question why these things happen, yet we know Veronica is in a better place and will be waiting for all of us one day.
Love to all,
Michael and Pat Amezquita

My dear dear Veronica. I will miss you everyday of my life. Thank you for the joy and love you brought into our lifes. I know I will see you again when I go home and I know that you will be there to welcome me home.
Here is a poem I bumped into and I want to read it to you my dear Veronica:
BEYOND THE SUNSET
"Should you go first and I remain
To walk the road alone,
I'll live in memories garden dear,
With happy days we've known.
In spring I'll wait for roses red,
When faded, the lilacs blue,
In early fall when brown leaves fall,
I'll catch a glimpse of you.
Should you go first and I remain,
For battle to be fought.
Each thing you've touched along the way
Will be a hallowed spot.
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile,
Though blindly I may grope,
The memory of your helping hand
will bouy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain,
One thing I'll have you do:
Walk slowly down that long long path,
For soon I'll follow you.
I want to know each step you take,
So I may take the same.
For someday down that lonely road
You'll hear me call your name.
^^^^^Auathor Unknown^^^^
Miss you Mamita.
Mom.

Aunt Veronica, we will always love you and will forever miss you. The world wouldnt be as sweet if you hadn't graced it with your angelic precence for almost 39 years. My first memory of you was when I was probably about 4 years old or maybe even younger and the family went to Wet and Wild or some type of water park, and I was too young to go on a waterslide by myself and I couldn't swim and you told me that you would take me, and I was scared that you would let go of me, but you didn't, you kept ahold of me and protected me. You will forever have a special place in my heart. I could never forget you, you've inspired me even more then I knew, but I've told you all of this already. I will look toward you in heaven, because I know you are watching over all of us. I cant wait to see your face again in Heaven.
Anthony and the boys- We love you guys, and will always be here for you guys no matter what. All you have got to do is pick up the phone and any or all of us will be there for you. Keep your faith strong, and one day we will all be reunited again. I love you and miss you guys!!

I met Veronica in middle school. She was so bright, intelligent, and kind. In high school, we were both in the drill team and I admired her for her talent. I looked up to her and wished I could dance like her, I always wished I was as graceful as she was. I lost contact once we graduated but have many warm memories of her. She had the kindest heart and was a sweeheart. My condolences to her family. I wish I could be there to say goodbye

Veronica Acosta was a very inspiring teacher to my daughter Haylee. She looked up to Mrs. Acosta and loved her dearly. Haylee told me last night that Mrs. Acosta was like a second mom to her because she showed her so much love and affection. She was a very dedicated teacher and was always willing to go the extra mile for my daughter and many other students. Our hearts are aching for the loss of such a wonderful, kind hearted, and loving person. We will miss her dearly and we will always keep her memory in our hearts. I know she is an angel in heaven watching over us all and that she will guide us through our hard times as we mourn for her in the years to come. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mrs. Acosta.
