hi grandma, its so hard to go through this having you not here im so sorry that you didnt get to see jonathan please forgive me. he is so handsome, you would be so proud. Thank you so much for my dad, you raised him to be strong like you, i wouldnt be the person i am today if it wasnt for him. i have so many memories..one memory is when you and grandpa came over for christmas that is something i will never forget. another is when you made my favorite "ragatoni".. you would also be happy to know that my brother and i dont fight no more cuz you always told us not to fight with each other.there will be a void in all our hearts you can never be replaced. rest assure that we will all take care of grandpa. the last words we said to each other was I LOVE YOU. i will always love you forever ..we will all see you again.

Aunt Helen,
Even though you lived so far away everytime I saw you, you always treated me the same, and that was with love and kindness. When I did see you it seemed like your were so interested in how I was and you had lots of questions to ask me. I never once felt you were prying, but just that you cared. Your love and kindness shows in your children and grandchildren. We will miss you. WELCOME HOME!!!!!!

Mom, I am truly blessed to have had you in my life for the little time I did. We had our alone times when we would just talk and that is one of the things I will miss most. You often thanked me for doing things for you or just comming to see you, and it is you that deserved the Thanks just for being there and being you! My kids never really got to do allot of the wonderfull things with you that Grandmothers get to do with there Grandkids, but the times they did get to spend with you were the best. Your Adie will make sure that you are not forgotten in our home. She keeps telling us not to be sad because you are in Heaven laughing.Rest ashure that I will take good care of your Baby Huey and your Ponchito and your Reina. Love and miss you.

Adie talks about you all the time and just keeps telling us that you are in Heaven with Justin. I love you, Love Frankie "Corn Chip"..

Oh Babalita, I miss you sooo much already! My heart aches for you. I promise to take care of your Vejito, and being your oldest Grand-daughter I promise to tell my children and all my younger cousins stories of all the wonderful times we shared together. I know a part of you will live on in each one of us. A dear friend told me, "When you live in the Lord,you NEVER see eachother for the last time". So until we are together again.....Mucho Mucho My Dear Sweet Grandma.

I'm so grateful for the time we shared together Grandma and how you always made me feel so special. I miss you so much and just want to hold you but I know that you were tired and ready to go home. I know that you are happy and will enjoy watching all of the things we are going to do in order to make you proud. I'm going to the best mother that you showed me how to be and never let Zoe forget you. She misses her Wita but talks to you at night, so listen for her. I love you Mucho Mucho.

We all were trying to get prepared for the worst when my G-ma first got sick, & out of nowhere she did a full turn around & suprised a lot of us.When me & my brother went to go see her when she was first sick,she wasnt really reacting to anything much.We walked in the room & she held our hands.She kind of stared at me & just gave me the G-ma face.I said "granma its me, christopher" then she looked relieved & laughed, me & my brother just started laughing with her & were really happy.I think she got scared cuz she thought i was jesus with my long hair & goatee haha.After that she always told me to cut my hair,i finally did but she unfortunately didnt get to see it.I like to think that me looking like jesus was the reason she kinda snapped out of it.For the last few years of her life, she wasnt really "living" much.Whether she was giving up or whatever the reason was.but she showed us that she had some fight left in that big heart of hers. My G-pa is a strong man & never left her side through it all.THAT is the definition of love.If weve learned anything from this,it should be to love the ones close to you more than you already do & live everyday like it was your last.Do things youve never done before or always wanted to do.I LOVE YOU MY ONE & ONLY G-MA. "GOD BLESS AMERICA!" haha
