I miss you so much Grandma. On the day you died and the weeks following I found it hard to cry, but these days it so hard to keep my tears inside. I'll be forever greatful to you for loving me and raising me alongside my dad. Tell Leo I said "Hi." I love you.

Sincere condolences to all my cousins in Modesto and regrets that I cannot be there with you. Aunt Jeannie will always be loved by those of us privileged to have known her. As a young boy, trips to San Jose to see Aunt Jeannie, Uncle Richard and the kids were times of great joy because of her incredible love, kindness, and generosity. Her beauty was obvious, as was her class, integrity, and ability to make us all feel loved and welcomed. I know that my Mom, Helen Mendoza Gonzales, had a great love and affection for her because she was such a wonderful person who made her brother Richard so very happy. Much love to you all.
