Sierra was my cousin and I know we spent time together when I was little but i cant remember alot only 1 memory, it was one day she went out and bought chips and dip and shehad tolds us it was off limits, saying we cant have none. Well that night she spent the night with us and we were going to bed and she woke me up telling me she couldnt sleep and so we went to the living room watching tv and she got her chips and dip and said "dont tell anyone i let you eat my chips and dip." so even though i only remember that memory i havent forgotten her. we love & miss you Sierra i send mad love to you.

Sierra...I dont even know where to begin. She is one person I can say that could always put a smile on my face! She had an amazing sense of humor that im sure everyone loved! She had the craziest personality that brought laughter to alot of peoples lives. She was like another sister to me, I was best friends with her sister, Cecilia and I was over there ALL the time! Ive known her for about 8 years and learned alot from her during it! I know I will never forget her, she was a beautiful young lady with a caring heart! I know shes looking down on us smiling! RIP Sierra and I will always love and miss you!

Sierra was my daughter. Its been six months since she passed. Apart of me left on that February day. I think of her each and everyday that goes by. I wish I could see her come threw the door again, but I know that can't happen. So I try to feel that empty space with memories of her. She left apart of her with me. She has a 2 and half year old son named Antonio. He is alot like his mom. He can be stubborn and sweet all at the same time. He was the love of her life. When she became pregnant with him she was in school. She went to school even though she was pregnant. She graduated in 2005. Her senior project she dedicated to her son. She said she finished school for him so he could be proud of his mother. I was also so proud of her that day. She was the kind of person who always had a smile on her face. She had lots of friends she didn't care if you had a disability or didn't have money. You were still her friend, and she would always stand by you. There's been a highway adopted in her memory. Its so nice to see people who loved her come and help take care of the road. It lets me know when she was here she touched alot of people's lives. She will be missed by all who knew her.

For those of you who didn't know Sierra, she was a person who lit up the room and caught people's attention. She stood out in the whole crowd. She was a mother who loved and cared for her son so much that she would do anything for him to be safe and cared for and have a better life. She was a person who saw ligth in the dark, saw good in the bad. She brought laughter and love into our homes. She left behind many memories that can never be forgotten and will be carried on in our hearts and will be shared with others. So here is a couple of memories that I will share with you. I can remember the first the first time I was brave enough to get on a roller coaster. It was at Paramounts Kings Dominion. I had went with Sierra, her family and my cousin Audelia. They were all brave enough to get on the rides except me. I've always been the scared one out of me Sierra and Audelia. They both have always been the more daring ones. As I was saying finally Sierra told me if you get on the biggest roller coaster out here in the very front seat with your eyes open then I promise you that you wont be scared anymore. So I did and she was right. I had the most fun. It was amazing. That day we rode many more rides together. A funny moment me and my family has shared with Sierra would be the time that Sierra was at my house and we had been in the pool. When she got out she had went inside and changed. Well I was getting out and I heard her knocking on the window from my sister Tammy's room then all of sudden I looked and saw a big hiny moon shining me. I laughed so hard I almost peed in my pants. Then she told me to get her mom, my mom (whom she loved so much as well as my daddy) and every one else in there to come and take a look. So I did. Everyone was laughing so much, Her mom even went to grab the camera to take a picture. That was funny. Well I think I've given you a picture of how she was. She was the best. She will live on forever in my heart. I will always think of moments we had together and try to escape the bad ones. May God Bless her soul and be with us throughout life. Teresa,Audelia, and Sierra. Cousins For Life!

In loving memory

Of serria marie hernandez

from: your cousin olga romero madrigal



I am honored to let you know how grateful I was to have someone like you as a cousin. And how happy I was when you and Vaca asked me to choose your son Antonio first name before he was born in to this world. And how happy I was when Lulu and your others friends from D.H.Conley told me you talked about me all the time and how crazy your cousin olga was also how much you wanted them to meet me.Then sierra remember when we where all planning out this summer vaction to go to the moutains and you where going with all of us so that you can slid on the big slides that go around in circles well girl It will not feel the same without you because we will not be laughing at the crazy things your crazy self does Sierra thats why it want be as fun as it sounded before since all of this happened. Also It will not feel the same for us anymore arouned here because you will not be here anymore to come to vist us like you use to when you where here.And the same goes as for parties or any other occasions. Sierra the day god took you away from us I did not no what to say or what to do all I could do was cry and cry for a while because I was so shocked that something like this could happen to someone as happy as you were that day and the day before and I could not believe this also because Teresa had recieved a call from you that day and she had told us how happy you were that day and how she could here you laughing in the background. Sierra remember I well always love you and I will not forget you. love always your cousin olga.
