Dearest Alicia!
Cant believe its been 12 years that you left this world. Part of your soul as well as vivid and wonderful memories of you remain with us! We still miss you, your laughter, our conversations and your lively spirit! Am still keeping busy with arts and crafts and since I recently retired, have added home-cooking, baking and have also added tending to plants - indoors and outdoors and trying to keep physically and mentally fit.
Rest In Peace in the Heavenly Throne with our Lord and His angels, Alicia!
Until we meet again!

Dear Alicia,
You had such a bubbly, wonderful, kind spirit and personality, along with a warm and big heart. I enjoyed talking to you for hours about the "good old days", about your arts and crafts and things in general.
You made the best enchiladas and the best German Chocolate cake I've ever had. Thanks for that, for listening and for your friendship.
We will always love you and miss you. May your soul rest in peace in the celestial throne, praising our Almighty God, for eternity.
Jenny, Manny, Lenny,
We are deeply saddened by the loss of your beloved and dear Mother.
May God give you peace, strength and comfort.
Love,
Your Aunt Juani and Grandma Vela
