Mom, it is a year today the Good Lord took you away. I thought of you with Love today but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence and often speak your name I show my grandchildren your picture so they will always know our Nanny. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.
Miss you and love you immensely.

Mom
Today we celebrate 80 yrs of your life and memories of happy times and some sad times. But most importantly your love and how much you loved life and family. You had a sense of humor that I will always remember and your strength & fight for life. I wish you were here to celebrate with you. But I know that God finally called you home so you could celebrate it with him. Just know that we love and miss you. Te quierro mucho mi princesa Y le pido a Dios que te tenga en paz y con much amor. De nos haces mucha farta.

One can spend a lifetime and not be able to say all that needs to be said about your unselfish love There is a void in my life, nothing will ever be the same. I have been truly blessed to have been a part of your life. I will always love you and miss you.

Oh Nanny. I don't know what to say. I struggle every day knowing that you are not here. I know you are not in pain any longer, you suffered more than anyone should have, but I can't help but be selfish and wish you were here. I guess I always thought we would have more time. I know how much you loved us all, especially my girls, and I will make sure your memory lives on with them and that you are never forgotten. I hope I can teach them to be even half of the kind, gentle, strong and happy person that you were. One of the best memories I have is taking you and Welo to Florida with me on vacation. I'm so glad I was able to be a part of your good times, and I hope you know that I always prayed for you and thought about you, especially in the difficult times. I love you. Rest in peace now.
