Uncle Robert and Family: It was very sad to received the news of your mothers passing. The reflection I received that morning was that she met her parents, brothers and she met my mom too.
I have fond memories of Aunt Mary. She and Uncle Robert met because she visited her Aunt who was our neighbor. Aunt Mary was the catch because she was so pretty and wore the prettiest dresses. Their courtship was also fancy in my imaginaion. Uncle Robert would borrow my dad's old car to take Aunt Mary on a date. I believe they went dancing because she loved to dance. I know they did not go to the Show Boat - the drive-in, which was forbitten to all of us.
She was a woman that was obidient to her husband and I believe that is what made there marriage strong. She was a woamn of alot of grace and I never heard any conflicts between family or friend.
She is at peace and that will bring you comfort knowing she is resting from the pain she suffered. She will see you now and then and will bring you alot of pleasure. Linda Ramirez

To Uncle Robert, Janelle, Janette, Joey & Haly, Our deepest condolences & sympathies to all of you! We know what it's like to lose your beautiful mother. Know that time will heal the emptiness that you feel in your heart, but that she will always be with you in mind and spirit. My memory that I would like to share with you of Aunt Mary, is that of her at her wedding. I was about 8 or 9 years old and when I saw her in her beautiful wedding dress, I thought she looked like a fairy tale princess. I wanted to be that beautiful 'princess bride', too. Aunt Mary was to me the epitome of how a real lady presents herself. She was soft spoken and always spoke with very kind words of everyone else. Always wanting to know how our mother or father and family was. She was a beautiful woman in mind, body and soul! She is now with our heavenly father in his beautiful kingdom. We love you all and you will always be in our hearts! .....Rosemary (Medina), Charles & Brandon Cantu

Just want y'all to know how much your mom was loved and will be greatly missed. Aunt Mary was always asking about everyone else. When you would ask her how she was doing she would always say fine even if she was not feeling well. She has such a sweet smile and a kind heart. She will always be in all of our hearts. Your cuz Michelle Medina

My first thought of Mrs. Medina is that of a quiet love. She loved her family and friends so much. She showed it by taking care of them and always asking about how someone was doing. She had a real interest in other people's lives and was always wishing the best for them. She will be sorely missed by everyone who had the honor of knowing her.

Uncle Robert, Janell, Janette, Joe our thoughts and prayers are with all of you of you at this difficult time. As I looked at the video it brought some wonderful memories of Tia Maria. I will never forget her and I can still hear her soft spoken voice and see her face. She was truly a wonderful lady.

Dear Janette and Family, Mickey and I and our family, especially Shane and Anthony wish to console you and take away your pain. So please know we will hold you all up to the Lord in our prayers and ask for His loving arms to surround you and comfort you as you deal with this difficult and sad time in your lives. I can assure you from personal experience that time will ease your pain and the good memories you cherish will keep your mother close to you and in your heart always. Nothing can ever fill that void left in your heart, but Jesus' peace has a way of taking over, easing the hurt and allowing one to go on. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family at this time, Janette. We love you.

Dear Mom,
It has been my honor to have you as my Mom. I could not have asked for a more wonderful mother. I know you are with God in Heaven watching over Dad, Janell, Joey, Haly, and myself. I will always carry you in my heart. I miss you so very much. I make my promise to you that I will always take care of Dad, Janell, Joey, Haly, and your expected little grandbaby. You were and will always be "The Wind Beneath My Wings". May God hold you in the palm of his hand until we meet again.
I love you forever with all my heart,
Netty
