Dear grandma, it’s been 2 years since we’ve all seen you we love you very much and it broke our hearts when you left us to go with your family but we’re also glad that your with your family to, we all miss you, and me,Bailey,Ethen,brother,my mom,papa,nana,Francis, David’s wife (I don’t know how to spell her name) and the whole family we wish we all had atleast 1 hour left with you. We miss you and love you so so very much. -Bailey and Mia.

I remember when grandma would always ask if I would want to help her do the dishes and we would splash each other  and laugh with soap in our hair and face, no day goes by that I will not think about you.And I would wake up to go and ask you for chocolate and you would give me peanut butter chocolate and I didn’t like it also when you had not even had candy I would get mad and cry to my mom about it. I miss you💜

Dear Grama,
Words can't express the loss I feel right now. But I'm so Thankful God showed me that your happy,  and healed in heaven with him. I had a dream of you dancing to a song you always told me reminded you of grampa "Sugar Pie Honeybunch."💕  You were smiling and so happy and beautiful. I just know Grampa, Pancholine, and Alex were anxiously waiting for you with Jesus to Welcome you to your eternal home.✝️
You were my 2nd mother for 34yrs and we shared sooo much. You were my best friend and I'll never forget all the laughter, and pain we shared countless times in your kitchen, livingroom, and especially sitting with you in the front yard on the green swing grampa made. Sometimes just the two of us, and other times with the kids running around us. 
My favorite memories with you were going to church and praising God together, or just watching TBN on tv with you for hours. You were the perfect example of a "Proverbs 31" wife, mother and grandmother most definetly! "In God's eyes "Many daughters have done well but you excel them all"...
Another favorite memory was our spelling games that you LoVed so much. Even up to two months ago Lisa has a video of you spelling words for us. I will cherish these videos of you always, and Yes you were good at it too! Spelling was your favorite subject in school you always said, and you sure showed it.😊
I'm so Thankful I got to spend time with you these past few months. The last day I saw you, you squeezed my hand so tight and wouldn't let go. That confirmed to me that you heard me when I told you "Thank you for being my best friend all those years, and always LoVing me.❤
Your in the arms of Jesus now, and I have another Angel in heaven.🕊
Hugs to all of you up there now.
Love you always Grama, and I'll see you again.✝️
Berni


I'm  going to miss every single moment I've  spent with my grandma. Like the time me and my cousin would dance to her while she sat on the couch, smiling  as we played. She would always say she funniest  things and would always used to call me by my mom's or my aunts name. One time my Nana  was pushing her into the kitchen  on her wheelchair, and as she was entering she says, "Beep beep!".  And finally,  my favorite  moment is hearing her sweet voice saying,  "I love you" everytime I would give her a hug and kiss to leave. Even though you're not in our lives anymore, you're memories will  be in our hearts forever.
 Love you grandma and see you soon! 
-Justine/Faith💖

"Hiiii Grama, it's me Nay Nay, Your favorite grandson"  is what I said jokingly to you every single time I went to see you. I will forever miss you grama. I'm so so happy I always stopped by daily to hug you & kiss you. You were & are so very special to me. FOREVER MY LOVE, MY GRAMA, MY ANGEL! I LOVE YOU. 
PS: I promise, just for you, I'll lose weight grama 🤣🤣🤣 


I knew her since I was younger and living in Bakersfield  went to school with her daughters   I was shy  and I used go to sleep over and   Got older and sill went over to Bakersfield  on weekends  than just slow down  a little  but I sill went over when I can to  see my friends  and now we are family. So many years  past.  They treat me like a sister  lm going to miss you.  And now you are in a better place now  l can’t wait to see you soon and my mom and dad. Love you lm glad I got to see you before you left love you. ❤️❤️😂😂

Dear Grandma, 
I have so many beautiful memories of you.  I'll always treasure our moments together...  Especially our funny conversations. Thank you for all you did for us grandkids. You'll forever be in my heart. 💜I can't wait to see you again one day!💜

My memories are very spotty, glimpses really, but there are a few that come through clearly.  I remember going to the Martinez home to play with Ticha almost daily, and walking into the kitchen I was immediately overwhelmed by the smell of big Francis' delicious cooking. Her warm smile and welcoming nature set this very anxious child at ease. I also remember her stern gaze that always knew when we were up to something. My most poignant memory was the day of my mother's funeral. She stood home with Ticha and I, allowing us to play on the swings and merry go round.  At 6 years old I didn't really understand what was going on and she never mentioned it, she simply allowed us to be kids. Full of wisdom,  big Francis always seemed to be able to look right through you and understand what was going on in your heart.  Such a huge loss for the family,  but such an angel gained in Heaven. My sincere condolences to all of the Martinez family,  big Francis' sisters and relatives as well.  May God bless you all.  

Tia, rest in Heaven. Say hello to my family members that you now join in the kingdom.
Love you and thank you for my family you have blessed me with.

I love you so much grandma!! You will truly be missed by us all, Until we meet again.💙🙏

I know I won't be half the grandma that you were but I will plant the seeds just like you did with me. I will teach my children and grandchildren about Jesus.  You left something behind more valuable than any material or worldly possession  could offer ..... My 1st born son Andrew is proof of that and I know you look down and are proud of him. My dear, precious, loving, faithful and kind grandmother.... I was blessed to grow up  with you and I love you so so much. I'll see you again grandma.  When the saints go marching in.
