Tia Dora, I have always thought you were beautiful, sweet and caring. I can't believe you are gone. I can only hope to have the love and relationship and time with my husband as you had with Tio. I used to love when mom and dad would let me come stay with you. I loved running around in your house with the boys and Andrea and out in those beautiful fields, and coming back to some of the best homemade dinners. I miss you and love you more than I got to tell you and for that I am sorry and regretful. I hate that every time we lose someone we wish we had spent more time with those we have lost. I hope that we can all come together as a family and realize that WE as a family are most important in this life and letting each other know that we need and love each other more often than we make time for now. I hope you are with the love ones that we have lost in the past and please give everyone a big hug for me and tell them I love them as well. Especially my dad. I will pray for you all always and I will never forget you!
