Dear Julianne and Family:
We were very sorry to hear about your Mother. I have lots of nice memories of talking with her during the years when my daughter Alisa danced at your studio (it was usually my mom and me back in those days). She was an especially nice person to chat with. I'm sure she will be dearly missed but she will be always looking down on you all and watching over you. Our heartfelt condolences go out to you all as well as our thoughts and prayers are with you at this hard time. Debbie Tuquilar and family ~ Art, Alisa and Andrew

Although she is no longer with you physically, she is still with you in your hearts and minds. She is once again able to smile, laugh and do what she did best which is to watch over and help take care of everyone or to just give you a smile when you need one the most.
She will still help you with your thoughts and life's decisions. You will at one point or another look within yourself and ask "How would she have handled this?, What would she have done?" Or just wanting to be with her?
She will always be there to hold your hand, give you a smile and a hug when you need one.
All you need to do is close your eyes and feel the suns warmth or feel a gentle breeze. At that point, you will know that she has never left your side.
