You are a beautiful ANGEL just as you were on earth!I rember when we met 9 years ago, I was free for 2hrs from the sober living home I was staying in in 2003 in west modosto off of california st.I just had purchased a electric mowped wanta a b motorcycle, it was cherry red! I was cruising down Elm street it was in the middle of November and so foggy and cold soon as I turned the corner on shasta st I fell of the mowped as it ran out of electricity right in front of youre beautiful front yard,and you were sitting in a chair by your front door,I heard you say "jewelz is that you what are you doing its foggy,cold and its late" "are you ok Jewlz" I picked myself and my red mowped up out of the middle of your street!!! how you offerd your electricity so I could plug my mowped in the wall and charge it so I would make my curfew, and you had given me a couple of bandages!,then you and I were laughingabout my new red mopwped and how it only goes maybe 5.6 miles before I have to charge it again!!!!Wow 9 years ago were did the years go!!! just last month you had comforted me when I came over to visit with you and my Micheal Jackson had just died I was so in shock` you said" JEWELZ we all someday must die " and I told her "I always thought Micheal Jackson would live forever!!1 I know with all my heart we will meet again in heaven!! love you jewelz aka Snowwhite66

Aunt Delinda, Thank you for always being there and always wanting me around. Thank you for all the talks we had about nothing and about everything. Your home was always my "Holiday." I was glad to have known you, and will treasure every moment I ever spent with you. Until we meet again my dear Aunt.

A part of my life, apart of my heart, a part of my soul has passed, but most of all I've lost my aunt & a friend. I lost the one special person who has made a difference in my life, she is no longer here to listen to my stories, listen to my worries, or just listen to what I had to say. My aunt I love is no longer here today. The memories, the laughs, & the good times we shared will never be forgotten and will never go away. I love you with all my heart and I will see you again.

To my beloved aunt..I miss you so much and i must say it is hard to go to the house because I always expect to see you. I still refer to it as 'my aunt's house'. I want to say thank you for everything you did for me you were a mother to me in so many ways and no one can ever replace you in my heart. You loved everyone no matter what. That is a quality only God can give you. I know you are in a far better place and I know i will see you again.
I love you and I will never forget you.

I watched her face filled with courage, determined to be brave. Precious Mother, your example is to be cherished. For without your anchor there to support me, I drift along waters kept from showing how much you really meant. I look within my strength and find that fear overwhelms.
My sunny rays of sunshine gone. Her joyful laughter in the air. A friend; giver; and believer, to those whose lives she touched. Her thoughtful advice spoke from experience about the important things in life. Her fierce spirit was kind. Everyday she loved like it would be her last. In her times of struggle, she listened to encouragement and praise. Her faith in God was a mighty shield. Her beliefs came from the knowledge that she was loved.
My Precious Mother did her best and only human. I miss her with all my soul. A wise woman who built a strong foundation in preparation for the being taken away.
There is no sadness in her going. I rejoice because she came and loved many days, with her face like a flint glowing to light the darkest way. Precious Mother, Rest In Peace, for you taught us to be brave and stick together like burning lamps glowing for everyone to see. Soar amongst the angels in a place of peace, guide us, always watching over being blessed in heaven.

In loving Memory Of Delinda Velazquez, Precious Mother and friend.

EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE GONE, WE STILL FEEL YOU AT THE HOUSE. WE'LL CHECK UP ON THE GIRLS FOR YOU AS MUCH AS WE CAN. WE LOVE YOU AND MISS MOM AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS...

Delinda my sister, A person whom I miss very much. If you knew my sister you would know that she was a very special person. She was full of life, she was strong and caring. If you asked her for something she would hand it to you without asking for something in return. If you needed a roof over your head she would open the doors to her house. If you needed a hug, she would open her arms and give it to you. Her love was so unconditional and her heart was so huge. Her smile was like a ray of sun. Every time I saw her she was smiling no matter how much pain she was in. She never showed how much she was hurting. If she was tired she would still be right there keeping you company and talking with you. She was very strong and accomplished everthing she put her mind to. She went to school and got her masters right after having surgery. She always had the will of being strong minded. Never will I ever be able to replace her, and there isn't anyone that could fit her shoes and take her place. I thank god for the daughters he lend her because I see a lot of my sister in all her daughters, I see stength, love, etc. I am glad that you are no longer suffing, even though you left us to soon I am so happy that you were my sister and I know we will see each other one day. I LOVE YOU MY SISTER.

I miss you yelling at me when I ask you "do you want me to give you a hug". I wish I would have. And I miss not being able to embarress you when I wear my shorts with the holes in them. Why couldn't I wear them all those times we went to the flea market?.... And I really do love your daughter....

I am truly honored to have had you in my life. Not many daughter-in laws can say that their mother in law was their best friend. I'm going to miss the times I would call you and share everything. You always gave unconditional love and was always about your family. It was a blessing to have you in our lives and I thank you for the good man I have all because he learned from his mother, you, he should make you proud. A person that we all looked up to and admired you were also a strong independent inspiration we had in our lives. One of many that I have lost and had the priveledge to love in my life. Your love lives on through your children and grandchildren. Jesus promised we will see all our loved ones again. That is what gives me hope faith comfort and peace. Till we are reunited again.... Love you....

Mom... Wow so many things I want to say. I wish I had been able to see you one last time. There's so many things I wanted to talk about. Advice I needed, and still need. You knew so much. And helped so many. I miss you more than you can imagine. The only peace I find is that I know you're not hurting anymore. Thank you for always being there for me, being my Mom when I didn't have one of my own. I hope you know that I will always watch out for Raquel. I miss you and love you Mom. You are the most beautiful, kindest, sweetest, selfless person I've ever known. No one will ever replace you Mom. Thank you... For just always being you....

Delinda you were never a person to take sides. We loved you cause you told the truth and were very opinionated. If you were right you were right and wrong if you were wrong. You WERE ALWAYS there for us and NEVER asked anything in return. You are unique, one of a kind, good person and we will miss you dearly.

My beautiful mommy how i miss you so much it hurts so bad but at least i know you are no longer in pain. Life is so lonely without you, you lived n loved us so much no one will ever compare. I will always have you in my heart and next to me i know, I love n miss you mom so much i just want to hear and hug you one more time.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
