Dear Abuela,
I remember you dressing elegantly before work, carrying the scent of perfume and fresh makeup in a pair of heels. None of it ever stopped you from hosing down your car in the morning before we left the house. You took care of everything you had. 
I remember how it seemed like you were always coming in and out of rooms either combing your fingers through your hair or flicking your hand to the air while exchanging words with whoever was there. I always loved and appreciated the decor in your house because it all came from you. You could take anything, absolutely nothing, and turn it into something beautiful with a splash of paint and pearls or lace. 
You were, and always will be a work of art in my eyes. From your laughter to your moments of frustration, down to your freshly painted fingernails gliding across the piano. You painted your world beautifully and imprinted on everyone around you. 
You will be deeply missed by so many. 
Love always,
Toni 

Dear Chela,
	It was a blessing to me and my children to have you in our life. I will forever miss all of your unique traits that always brought laughter to us all including yourself.  One memory is when we would all sit down for dinner together and you would pull the table to you without realizing it. Another memory is when you would unconsciously smell whoever you went in for a hug with. You were always so talented with everything you did such as your paintings and your love for playing the piano so gracefully. Knowing that you are in heaven where there will be no further pain and suffering brings comfort to me.  You will truly be missed.
Love always,
Esusie

God Bless & may her soul rest in peace. 🌺⚘🌹


To my Abuela 
You will be dearly missed. Countless memories shared with you. I remember our early mornings feeding the geese after picking up breakfast as we went with you to work. Mornings we had at home with you, you took the time to show us how to make scrambled eggs. If you were too busy to cook a breakfast you always had an endless supply of cereal that Toni and I would conquer when you took your eyes off us for just a few moments. But you never got upset with us you always spoiled us with delicious treats, forever surprised by how much we could eat. Listening to you play the piano and sing Disney tunes from Snow White are some of my fondest memories that I wish I could go back to as an adult. The first time I had the chance to paint on a canvas was with your help and it actually came out to be a painting that I will forever cherish. Family dinners with you were always entertaining. To hear you go on a rant in Spanish, uncertain of everything you were saying, to then end in your beautiful laughter will forever stay with me. I’m so lucky to of had the chance to share these moments with you in my life. How I wish my timing was more accurate so my children could have met and grew up with you. I’ll make sure they know who my Abuela was to me the day they come into my life. My prayers and thoughts go to all her loved ones left behind as she begins her new journey. 

  My beautiful mother!
So many lessons in life you have taught me.   So many times you have sacrificed for myself as well as my siblings.  A part of my life  is lost and cannot be replaced.  I will always love and miss you  forever ❤  I am, being selfish.  Where you have gone, there is no more pain, no hatred. You are reunited with our Lord, family and friends that have past.  Soon we will see each other again in eternal life with God, our Father

My deepest condolences to the Alonso family. I share in your loss, and send love and prayers to you all.

The staff of Whitley-Garner at Rosehaven Funeral Home and Memorial Park would like to extend our most sincere condolence to the Alonso Family. We would like to thank you for entrusting the care of your loved one into our hands. Please remember you are not alone and we will always be here for you.
