Dear Marissa and Sandy,
My heart is broken for you. As neighbors and Friends of your family all of my life, I will truly miss your Mom. She was a true friend to our family. Always there for us and giving a helping hand. I´ll always remember her strength and good humor. We were blessed to have her and your family as friends and neighbors. Blessings to you and your family for strength and peace in your hearts. Love, Gloria (de la Garza) Ruiz and family.

My heart is broken. Deepest condolences to Marissa and Sandy and all your family. Natalia was family and always a good listener. She always had time to help everyone. Her heart was as big as her smile. Glad we were able to spend time with her and my mom at the downtown El Charro. They reminisced about the good old days. It was fun to go by the old neighborhood and listen to the two of them talk about who lived there and whatever happened to so and so. A big loss for my mom (Norma Fisher Valdez) and our whole family. Rest in Peace as you connect with your heavenly family.

Marisa and family, my condolences to you and your family. Your Mom was such a character and I really enjoyed talking to her as she knew everyone. She knew my parents and Uncles that had passed away and tell me stories. I know she´s having a reunion with all her family and friends in Heaven. Blessings, Susie

Dear Sandy and Marisa, my deepest condolences to you and your family. My grandmother and your mom were best of friends since elementary school. The color photo was at their 25th we´d anniversary and the b & w photo was at La Selve on Congress around 1957. Nats gave a true gift of friendship, laughs, and support to my Nana. We should all be so lucky in life to have someone like her in our lives.
