I will always remember my tough Grandmother chasing after me on the front lawn because I was in trouble. She ran and dove after me but I was to fast. She dove after me and rolled on the grass and just started laughing. As she got older I learned from her wisdom and I would always give her huge hugs and tell her I love her. Now the precious memories I have are the hugs and the huge smile on her face when I would give her flowers, because she loved flowers and plants so much. I love you Grandma so very much and I know this isn't goodbye. The tender hole in my heart from your passing will one day be filled when I see you again. Rest in the Glory of the Lord Grams and sing with the angels.

We are thinking of you.

I will never forget the times we spent together. It’s not just one memory it’s our whole lives with you that I will cherish. From my young years at the kitchen table when you would be on me to eat my food. I would pass my brother Miguel my food under the table and say I ate it all and you would laugh. To the days of me taking you with me to my work appointments then we would go eat or shop. To then I going to your appointments, life came back full circle. I miss you so much mom but I know you are with the Lord your Creator now. You left a big void in my heart that will only fully heal when I see you again. I love you mom and I will forever have you in my heart.

Grandma was the most loving woman i knew…. But the most strict & she sure had her opinions on everything and everyone!! I will never forget the chancla, or when i used to run away from her on a pink tricycle when i got mad at her….let me tell you that did not stop her from running to come catch me. Nor will forget her storming in my room yelling at nic to leave. She used to yell “it’s 11:30 go home, you have a home”. I will miss painting your nails & doing the most silliest dances to put a smile on your face even when you were not in the mood. Most importantly i will never forget her as a person, I miss you grams grams.

Grandma was such a strong women and I think we can all agree as us women in the family we all took a little piece of that. grams holds a special place in my heart because she took such good care of me. no matter what, she has always been there making sure we always ate and we were okay. after losing my dad (her son) I got closer to grams because in some way I felt like I still had a piece of my dad through her. I’m forever grateful I was able to call her and talk to her all the time. It pained me to see her hurting so much after losing her son but she kept going and fighting no matter what. Seeing her smile seeing Lucas in person and in pics and vid’s would bring such warmth in my heart. I will forever miss you grandma and life will never be the same with out you here. I’m at ease knowing both you and my dad are together again with god watching down on us. Give everyone strength to keep going everyday. I love you grandma ria❤️

To all of us Mom was a patriarch she was our pillar in our family. She was my hero because she raised five of us on her own, she loved to see us prosper and excel in our education. She struggled through her trials and tribulations just to make sure we had food in our table, a bed to sleep on, roof over our heads and clothes on our backs. She worked hard manual labor and sometimes had two jobs just so we could have what she didn’t have when she was growing up. Her dedication, determination and discipline is what made her strong and she instilled that on us at a very young age. My fondest memories as a kid was her cooking, she spent countless hours in the kitchen making sure what she cooked was nothing but the best in flavors and had lots of nutrients for us to be healthy. Every time I’d visit her she would always feed me and loved to feed us. That was her way of showing her love to us, making sure we were well taken care of and fed. She was a giver and gave without hesitation. I loved to make her happy, to see her smile and laugh, to jog her fondest happiest memories to keep her happy. She also loved to travel to go sightseeing even a simple trip to the grocery store and or Costco. Her favorite spot was at shoreline park just to sit there and enjoy the peaceful calm ocean breeze. She was true fighter and she cherished the gift of life God had blessed her with not taking anything for granted. I thank God for giving us such a strong beautiful angel as a mother/father, friend, confidant and caretaker. I will forever miss you but I know you live through us and we carry your blood in our veins
