Tia Ofelia, I will cherish the memories I have of you when I was a little girl and we used to go visit you, uncle Ben, and my cousins. I remember always seeing you in the kitchen making tortillas and boy they were good. Rest in God's mercy and peace.

My sweet Tia. You were one AMAZING woman. I am finding comfort in knowing you are no longer in pain, & are with Uncle Ben, Rudy & Benny. Please give Mom a big hug & kiss for me. I will forever hold you in my heart & my memories of you will forever put a smile on my face. I love you dearly.
