For fifteen years, I considered Virginia Moya.....My Nana! She was the most kind, sweet, loving and hilarious women I have ever met. The moment you met her; you felt like she was your Nana because she made you feel like she's known you for years. Losing both my grandmothers 10 years ago within a week of each other, made my relationship with her cherished and valuable than ever. There wasn't one moment that I spent with her that I did not want to make every second count. Her smile and her laugh and her quick-witted humor would light up the room or at least make you cringe from her "no filter" humor in the truth in the way she saw things. She always said, "I'm old, I say what I want" and boy did she mean it. But that's what made her unapologetically the most truthful and respected person that I've had in my life. I will always remember cooking with her and my mother-in-law (Olivia) this past Christmas in her kitchen and watching her get frustrated with our stirring and our pinch of this and pinch of that because they werent like hers. I loved her because she WAS a grandmother to me. But most importantly......because she was My Nana too!
Nana, I miss you so so much and I am so sad that you wont be here anymore. I remember you giving me baths in your sink and waking me up for school every morning. I will never forget all that you have done for my mom and I. I love you nana=œ

Nina,
I will never forget you my number 1 fan from flag football all the way through high school. I will remember your big smile and great hugs after every game. I will never forget the time after my flag football team lost the championship game and you were there to hug and hold me and tell me it was okay mijo. I will cherish every moment that I got to spend with you. You will always hold a very special place in my heart. I wish I was able to see you one last time and give you one more hug and tell you that I love you.
Love,
Junior

What would I like to say about Nana, well where do I start. When I became apart of this family, she opened her home and her heart to me. I will miss our talks, even her telling me to shut up; but mainly calling me sugar. Nana was feisty, but her love for everyone was even more than words can explain. She definitely had an beautiful impact on everyone she met and life will never be the same with out her here on earth. I am thankful for getting to have Nana in my life and even more thankful Joey has his memories with his NA-NA. Luvie you xoxo.

Nana was no doubt one of a kind. From the moment I met her, she welcomed me into her home and made me feel like family. I loved spending weekends at Nanas, talking, listening to stories, laughing at her witty comments, and making new memories with her. Hearing the stories from Dannys perspective taught me about the immense love, support, and ever present guidance she gave. Nana was thoughtful and kind, and not a birthday went by without receiving a card, gift, phone call from her. She was caring and loved us all, including our doggies! I will miss her dearly and I feel truly blessed to have known her. Luvie you mucho Nana, until we meet again.

My love and prayers to the family . I've known Virginia since I was her nextdoor neighbor since I was a small child. I had the pleasure of knowing her for about 50 years now. She was always happy to see me, even if years went by in between. That I will never forget.

Mom, reading through all the wonderful loving messages from family and friends - Im not surprised. Selfless, strong-always putting other people ahead of yourself. You taught me many things; strength to get through difficult times, love and patience, which helped me raise Monica into the wonderful person she is today, gave guidance on being a good mother in law, helped me build a stronger marriage with Mike, commitment to see things through - oh and laughter when all else fails. We were so fortunate to have you for 86 years. I find comfort in my memories of you, the numerous cards and funny text messages to start my day. I cant tell you how many times I have picked up the phone to call or text you. It will be hard not seeing you every day after work. What I strive for...that people see a little of you in me. I love you, Mom. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. Rest In Peace and enjoy eternity with Dad.

I met Virginia many years ago when she would bring her grand daughter Monica to my dance classes at the South El Monte Community Center. Monica danced with me for many years so Virginia and I became good friends. Every week she would show up with something she baked or cooked for me. She always included the recipe! She was so amazingly kind and generous to me.
Ever since Ive known her we have exchanged Christmas cards and she always sent me a birthday card with all the family updates. She always made me laugh with her sense of humor! Every Oct 7th on her birthday I would call her, and if she wasnt in Laughlin we would have a long conversation catching up on our lives. She always raved about her kids, grandkids and great grandkids. She lived for them and loved watching and helping to raise them to be amazing people.
When her husband passed away I had also lost my father about the same time. We had many conversations about our grief. They were buried at the same cemetery so we had a lot to talk about.
When Monica contacted me to let me know she passed away I was heartbroken. It was hard for me to process that Ill never receive another card from her or hear her voice again during our annual phone conversation. It hit me hard. Sometimes we think that people will always be there.......
I have never know a more loving, giving, spirited, generous, witty woman than Virginia. A true gem! I feel so blessed to have had this woman in my life for all these years. She will be missed with my whole heart. Rest In Peace my dear Virginia. You were loved and will never be forgotten.

I met Nana 12 years ago when I was brought into her life through marriage. She instantly became my nana and always treated me as one of her own. I love her feisty attitude, her laughter, her cooking, the way she loved my Watson but I especially loved our talks. I loved hearing about her growing up, when she met her old man, and the way she would tell me stories about Andrew. After every story she would tell me hes all yours LOL! She once told me how much she missed cuddling with her old man...Nana, Im going to miss you but I take comfort knowing that you are in heaven cuddling with your old man again. Thank you for welcoming me into your family and always telling me no matter what happen your door was always open. Im grateful I have another angel watching over me. Until we meet again, I Love you Nana!
We did it for you.

From day one, you have been there, school activities, sports, random get togethers... just about anything any of us were involved in...you were there. Even as an adult, you would be there supporting us. Be it my pool tourneys, club events....Joes gigs. You have been the Nana we all needed. None of us would be who we are with the guidance of you and Gramps. We were very lucky to have you the amount of time after Gramps passed. Youre with Gramps now and with us everywhere! And in you outgoing, direct and upfront way, Go ahead and tell Kobe that you wanted the Lakers to keep Shaq, the day we walked in and you had a Heat shirt on proved it! We will miss you every day Nans, but we will also know youre there.
Oh, I took your lucky budda, the one Gramps gave you and let me borrow at my Vegas tourney. Its my new pocket marker now. I love you Nana

I am grateful and so blessed to have had my Nina in my life. She was a beautiful and caring person. She has forever touched my life and made it better because she was in it. I have many memories of my Nina but one special memory is of her always being in the stands during my games when I was young. She continued the love of being there for my children at all their games. Her smiling face stuck out in a crowd of people no matter what. I will forever carry these precious memories in my heart.
Love You Nina

I was fortunate and blessed to have become a part of ninas family through marriage. She was a dedicated and loving mother and you could see that her family was everything to her. Her time, love, and caring showed through her children and grand children. They are the most beautiful and caring family and I know this is because of Ninas love. My best memory of Nina is having Christmas breakfast with the family, she was always so happy, joking and smiling. I will always cherish this memory of her. Love you Nina.

Deep down inside my heart you will always have a spot forever . I know you are walking on streets of gold right now and reunited with your husband which brings me peace. I know you will always be looking down on my family and I . You have always loved me and (Guy) my father like ur own son, thank you for your love and that BOMB Thanksgiving stuffing. You have always brought me joy, especially when I was small I knew u always had those little can of sodas, the Sprite limon limes. I called it Yimon yime cuz I didn't pronounce it correctly. You thought that was so hilarious. That forever stuck with you, me, family and became my nickname "Yimon Yime" . I will Always and forever be your lil "Yimon Yime". Love you always and forever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My momma, my partner and my best friend .. Im broken and filled with so many emotions, but those treasured memories will help me thru this. I recall sitting for literally 12 hours just talking about Moms life growing up, her trials and tribulations (and walking from Grand Avenue to Main) and realized she spent 90% of her life taking care of others. When she could have been selfish & bitter she wasnt. Family & children were her true passions. I hope those lives she touched will have treasured memories of her as well. She was a character. Its bittersweet that I will miss not having those funny (and sometimes heated) conversations and talking politics with her, and about our man-crush analyst, but I am at peace knowing she Is hand in hand walking across the heavens with my DAD, Life will not be the same without you but no worries, I got this Moms. Luvie you mucho ... xoxo.

I met Virgie over 20 years ago. A wonderful mother and nurturing grandmother she impressed me with her unending love for her family. She was the mother of my Bestie and I loved and respected her so much. She was the best cook I ever knew and the most loving and generous person. I will miss you Virgie especially your cream of wheat and white toast with butter. You are loved and will always be loved By your caring family. God bless you always. Gennie Pollock
