Mi querida Fita, te extrañaré inmensamente, Cuan triste estoy al saber que no estarás en mi boda, cuanto voy a extrañar nuestras conversaciones en tu cuarto sobre tu cama Iréliz y yo. Consuela mi corazán saber que estas durmiendo el sueño de los justos en Cristo y que nos volveremos a ver, pues ésto es solo un hasta luego, gracias por tu amor y tu cuidado. Siempre estaras en mi corazón y mi amor por ti nunca se apagará.
Desireé

Mother, my heart is aching with your loss. I miss you terribly. I miss our chats, your hugs, your slightly crooked smile and the warmth and caring you always showed me. You always made me feel very special. You will be forever in my heart!

Fita I will always remember you, my loving grandmother. It is going to be very hard going to Miggy's house and not see you there to give me a cup of coffe and to tell me a few times "are you hungry", "you want something to eat". I will always miss those phrases. But overall I will miss you so much, thank you for always being there when we need it you. What conforts me the most is knowing that you are in heaven watching over us and taking care of all of us. I love you Fita.

Mi “gorda”, I miss you immensely. It is extremely difficult to get up in the morning and not seeing you there… waiting for your morning coffee and giving me your blessing as I start my day. Fita, thank you for always been there with open arms and unconditional love. Your love, tenderness, compassion, and patience have helped me be the person I am today. I am proud and blessed to have you as my grandma’. Thank you with all my heart for giving me the best gift you have ever given me, my wonderful mom. I will always LOVE YOU!!
