Happy St. Valentine Day Mama. This is our families first St. Valentine Day without you and we miss you so much, I MISS YOU so much. Today and everyday, I wake up looking at the sky, looking at the sunrise and say GOOD MORNING to you and each sunset, I say GOOD EVENING to you because you´re forever in my heart. I hear the song, "Die With A Smile" on the radio and immediately think of you because that song reminds me of you. Mama, I dedicate that song to you. I love you mama. God bless you and all your loved ones that are with you in heaven looking down upon us.

I grew up spending almost every summer of my childhood with you. I remember the big moments but also the small ones. Like how you ate a fresh jalapeño with your scrambled eggs for breakfast. And making an overwhelming amount of buñuelos. The wholesome taste of your Spanish rice which none of us have been able to replicate. And our walks to the corner store to buy crackerjacks and a Squeezit. As a got older, I enjoyed our chats and learning about your life. You were the only grandparent to see me get married and celebrate my educational milestones.

Thank you for the influence you had on me. Love you, grandma.

With pride in our family name,

Dr. Salina Blea

Mama, Dave and I love you very much. We have many memories of you that will be with us forever. I loved watching you laugh at the silly things Dave did and the witty remarks you would make. You made us laugh too. Thank you for being a good mama. God bless you.

This is not my first memory but I always thought it was funny how my Mom (Mattie Palmer) and Mrs. Blea always called each other Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Blea and they were almost the same age. It was a respect thing. Also, on my Mom's 80th birthday we picked Mrs. Blea up for the birthday party and she was jamming in the back seat of the car. Angel, Yvonne, Berta, Robert and Ronnie please accept our sincere condolences she will always be in our hearts. Vickye Palmer and Family. May God bless and keep you all.
