Grandma, it's been 10 years without you but I know you are always watching. I am a Grandma now too, you have the most precious Great Great Grandchildren Ever!! Baby Xavier is 3 1/2 and my beautiful Princessa, Eliana Rose is 6 months old tomorrow. Cetin is a grandpa, and My Aunt Tina's great granddaughter Ava is absolutely precious, I think she looks like Tina when Tina was little. :) I know you are resting peacefully but saying we all miss you is an understatement. My Mom and Dad just celebrated 50 years of marriage, they are doing ok, you now how my Mom is sometimes, stubborn, but means well always. I love you Grandma, forever your Dinita :)

my condolences to all family members, loved ones, aunts & uncles. We all love our beloved Aunt Rosa, sister, friend, & Grandma. My Aunt Rosa loved unconditionally. She is and will always live in my heart as a true example of GOD's love & Christ's example to love one another.
Although we have tears in our eyes & grief in our hearts, let them be tears of joy. My Aunt Rosa will always be a loving example to emulate for she truly lived her life and showed everyone how to live for HIM. GOD always bless my Aunt Rosa, who lived her faith and showed me how to be a better person. I am truly blessed to have her as my loving Aunt.

"Make me an instrument of your Peace"

The moments I had with you will live in me for all my days. Christopher Torres Jr (Dina), Tommy, Isaac, & Naomi Begley(Michelle), Angelina & Deniz Lopez Jr. (Chet), Xavier & Mia Jaramillo (Dina), Jordan Cardenas, Zay, Elijah & Chole Avila (Ashley) My Grandma's Great Granchildren, who grew up knowing and loving their Great Grandma Rosa. I am so very happy to have had her in my life. Everyone she touched, she left a lasting impression. On Ortega, growing up, My Grandmother was in the church choir, was the President of The Legion of Mary, Eucharistic Minister, and an active person in her community. If you were hungry, she feed you; if you were sick; she cared for you; if you were hopeless; she helped & prayed for you. One of the greatest lessons my Grandmother, who was also, My Nina, was that God did not put any of us here to judge. She was big on that. As I sit here writing this, the childhood memories flood my mind, in a way that is unexplainable, I have been luck enough to had her my whole 39 yrs .. last surgery she had, she told me when coming out of it, that she had dreamt her parents with her, I hope with all my heart she had that same beautiful dream. 20 yrs ago this year I buried my Grandaddy Felix, @0yrs later, I say Good-Bye to my Grandmother, My Mother, & it hurts to my very soul. Happy knowing in my heart that she is no longer suffering and has been rejoined with all our loved ones no longer here with us. Michelle & I learned "Tamales" over the years from our Grandma, although, they will never have that "special something" just know that I will keep that tradition alive for my kids and someday grandkids. I love you, & Grandma, you know your Lil' Dinita could write a book, and maybe someday, I just might. Tell Grandaddy, I love him, & Say Hello to everyone from us. Save a spot for me. I love you, forever in my heart ~Love Your Grand-daughter, Dina
