Lorenza lived a true love story alongside her husband Manuel, who’s love started in a little town and grew into an abundant family. Raising her children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren to be beautiful people and continue her legacy of compassion and love. Her kind and virtuous heart welcomed everyone into her home, and brought people together with her cooking. She filled her home with laughter and joy, bringing people together, creating a bond and touching peoples lives in ways few people do. She was devoted to her family, sharing her tender care and love with a giant smile on her face. She was devoted to our Lord, always praying and reading His word. Walking by faith and loving like Christ did, never was there a human on this earth that carried such a light inside her that beamed with such radiance. Her life’s legacy is something that will live in our hearts forever and that is agape love.
“Lorenza you really haven’t left us. You have just gone to your heavenly home. We know
You are close. We believe when we say your name, you are standing next to us. Please send
Us messages. When our time comes to cross over, you will be there to take our hand”
Lorenza
