Emily G Perez

To everything there is a season, a time for every matter under heaven, a time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what was planted, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance, a time to keep, And a time to castaway.

-Ecclesiastical

May God find compassion on us all and lessen the pain and show us more of the happiness and joy we shared with our mom to remember more clearly the joy.

We can all acknowledge and feel how hard it is to say goodbye to our beloved mother. We wish we had more time with you, more time to sit and chat over coffee, more time to give you warm hugs, more time to tell you over and over how significant you were to our lives. More time to tell you how we admired your strength and character to take on the role of both mother and father, to teach us strong worth work ethics, and to know right from wrong, more time to hear you say “I love all my family”.

We your family wish, that so much of your life had not been lost to the illness. We your family wish, that things could have been easier for you. We your family wish and pray that all your pain and sorrow have now diminished and that you now have a new life as promised.

While we all know mom is at peace and that her struggles are now at an end, those of us left behind will go through times of sadness and pain, but in time memories of our mom will bring smiles and laughter. Just remember, even though she has passed, the legacy of her perseverance and the strong love she held for her family, will always be here. The way she has touched our lives will remain, and I ask you to keep those memories alive.

One of the most joyful talents of our mother’s life was music and song, and she took great pride in that. Musicians have a way of bringing joy and happiness to one’s spirit. So much so, that you get up and sing or dance. That is what made our mother continue to play her accordion. We all can remember all those years, she would come knocking on your door at 5:00 AM to serenade you with “LAS MANIANITAS” for your birthday. Keep her song in your hearts. There is something mom experienced during her performances they gave her such happiness and satisfaction in seeing the result of her music to make others Joyful.

Our mother is preceded in death by her mother Maria Sedano Rodriguez, her eldest son Freddy Perez, her third son Tony Santos Perez, her youngest son Freddie Perez, her baby girl Carmen, and her baby boy Lupe. Mom is survived by the five of us, Angie Camacho, Mary Ochoa, Johnny Perez, Rosario Becker, and Frank David Perez, along with numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her family and the role of mother and grandmother was the most important thing to mom. This is where she drew her strength and is leaving her legacy.

Mom’s life had many struggles, yet through it all, her love and devotion toward her family remained her focus. Her perseverance through adversity is a powerful lesson for us all. What a wonderful lesson she has taught us, don’t you think? Keep your priorities straight, love and care for your family, keep focused, just keep going. Don’t let adversities or setbacks or any distractions of this world keep you from the most important aspect of your life GOD and your family.

Mom has left us a wonderful example and legacy to follow, not only when life is easy, but also when it is difficult too. So stay focused!

Mom loved to travel and venture out. Even when she was not supposed to, or we thought too dangerous for her. It was how she was, a fun spirited individual who became the center of your attention.

Mom had such good life-long friends who adored her, and admired her. Mom was very spiritual, and that is why there should be no doubt in your mind that she isn’t happy in the Kingdom of God.

And guess what, heaven just received a new manager to run the place.

Love you MOM!
