Mom...today you would have been 90 years old. I wish you were still here with us. The days go by so fast and it is hard to believe that you have been gone more than six years. The only thing that makes me happy is to know that you are with Chacho and Pop. I love you mom and miss you always. Your loving daughter #1. Lolie

Mom....sorry I missed your birthday on May 6th. You and Chacho were with me every day in the hospital. I talked with you both and prayed for healing. I felt you with me. Mom, I miss you and my sweet big brother so much. Chacho was an angel and I am glad he came back to us so that we could all help take care of him until he went to be with you. You are now 89 years old mom and not forgotten by me!! I love you and miss you and talk to you all of the time. Happy Mothers Day Mom..I love you. daughter #1 Lolie

It really doesn't seem like 4 years since you left us mom. I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I found out you left us. Even though I moved it's been so hard to think that you are no longer with us. I know for sure you are always with me and watch over me, Tony, and Maddie cuz I can feel it. I'm glaf that no matter what I always have you here with me. We miss you very much. Love, D

Happy belated birthday and Mother's Day. I miss you bunches. I want you to know that my mom and I still say and do things that remind us of you. LIke how you said "yes" you said, "jes". And mom calls my son Marcus, some spanish word that you used to call baby boys. I can't type it, but it sounds like pounginous. Mom says you made up that word. I like it that it came from you.

Love, Marcelina

To my Mother--Today is Mother's Day and you are the very first person I thought about when I woke up. Everyone always says how it gets easier with time but for me, it doesn't work like that. I get so sad when I think of you and always wish you were still here with us. This is my fourth Mother's Day without you and I still miss you so much. I will never forget you Mom. Happy Mother's Day forever. Your loving daughter....Lolie

Happy Birthday Mom! I miss you so much and wish you were still here with us. There isn't a day that goes by that I dont think of you. Everyday ever since you left us I feel like you are still there watching over me. I just wish you could still be here to watch your great grandchildren grow and do the things with them and take them to the places that you used to do with me when I was their age. Except for the 4 hours of Sabado Gigante every Saturday :) I'm so thankful for all the memories we have together for me to remember you by. I love you and miss you very much. Your "Favorite" granchild :) love always David Jr.

Mom--today it is exactly three years since you left us. I miss you so much and think about you all of the time. You left me too soon Mom and when I look around, I see you everywhere. I can still hear your voice. I sleep in your favoirte nightgown and keep you close to me. Mom, I know that you and Pop are together again and that is how it should be. I watch the movie that Eddie made when Pop came to see you before he died. You both were so happy to see each other again. We could tell that you still loved each other and we have those memories forever. I love you Mom and will never forget you.

Hi Mom, Today when I looked at the calendar I thought about all the fun we used to have on your birthdays. I remember always trying to outfox you and hide money where you would never think of looking for it. Lolie used to give me a blow by blow description of how you carefully opened and examined each present looking for the surprise. You always found it and it made you very happy. It made us happy too. I miss those fun times. Love, Mable.

Hi Mom, my favorite picture of you is one that was taken at a train station the day after Mothers Day 1949. I was a tiny baby then and you were holding me close- we were cheek to cheek. You had your hair done up like they did in the movies back in the 40's. You were so pretty and had the most beautiful smile. You could have been a movie star! Marci had a beautiful baby last year and when she was just a few months old we took turns posing with her - the same way you were holding me in the picture- cheek to cheek. We copied your hairstyle and dressed in the same kind of 40's style clothes and we dressed Lauren with the same kind of baby clothes I was wearing in the picture. Marci even had the pictures developed in black and white. We all have copies -me and Marci and Lolie (daughter number 2). Four generations: mother, daughter, grand-daughter and great grand-daughter. I will always treasure the words you wrote to me on the back of that old black and white picture. You said you loved me and that I was beautiful. What can I say? Like mother, like daughter. Love Mable

Look at me - I'm walking @ 11 months

Hi Grandma,

I think of you often and miss you so much. I'm attaching a picture of your great granddaughter - Lauren. You would have loved her. She has so many rolls, you could have pinched them forever. I love you very much. Love Marci

Hi Mom, I think about you everytime there is a holiday and I remember all the fun times we had especially when you'd come out to California to vacation. Walter and I both miss you lots. You would be very proud of Lolie - she turned out to be the best of the bunch. She is a teacher now and is the only one of your children to earn a college degree but I am very close behind her. Marci had a beautiful baby girl and I wish you could have seen her. You would have fallen in love with her just like everyone else who sees her. I know you are in heaven and I think Pop is there too. On this Mothers Day I want to you know that I love you Mom. Mable

Well, what can I say. We all grew up together, my mom and Ann were like sisters. We ALL had great times together (good and bad, with the loss of our dads). I know your pain, as I am going to be feeling the same soon. As everybody who trys to confort me, all I can tell you is to hold on to the good times and memories. I know, easier said than done. Love you all, Christina and Family
