Genel my prayers to you and your family. Your mother was a wonderful person and will be missed.

I miss you every second of every hour of every day Mom.  I need your guidance to help me get through this.   I can't do this without you.  My heart is always heavy with sadness and I'm so upset there are no words to describe the emptiness I feel inside.    I love you Mom.   Forever...

Tito Fred and Gen, 
Sorry for the lost of Tita Susan. She will be truly missed. There really no words to say that can bring her back. The only thing I can say is that her spirit is everywhere and will be an angel. (Rest Tita Susan.. We love you )Prayers. God Bless.

With LOVE,

The Walters Family

Someone who was able to raise a daughter as awesome as Genel deserves the highest praise. Salazar family I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers and hugs!

Mom,

Dinner night will never be the same without you.  Your delightful presence will forever be missed.  Mahal Kita, mom, and thank you for everything...

Dear Ann,  So sorry for your loss.   My thoughts and prayers are with your family.   Buck and Jacquie Murray

Good afternoon, Everybody.  My name is Ingrid Cabrera and with me, seated over there, is Arnold Cabrera, my husband.

Dear Susan:  As I stand here today, my heart is heavy.  It is difficult to put into words how I feel, but I came up to speak because I just want to thank you.  Arnold and I owe you an enormous debt of gratitude.  It was by God's grace and wisdom that you and Freddie brought into this world a beautiful little girl you named Genel.  She is God's special gift to you.   That was more than three decades ago and unbeknownst to Freddie and you and Arnold and me, God's plan was that one day, your only child Genel and our only child Shalimar would cross paths and become best friends.  Now, Genel, God's gift to you, has become a gift to us too.  Genel and Shalimar have become, one to the other, the sister each one of them never had.  And for that, we thank you, Susan, from the bottom of our hearts.  

Your Genel is sweet, warm, loving, caring, respectful, sincere and kind.  Genel is your legacy, Susan.  Those virtues we see in her are a reflection of you.  Under the watchful eye of her Dad and your nurturing, motherly love, she has grown from the innocence of a child to the charm of a teenager to the grace of a young lady to the maturity, confidence and beauty of an accomplished woman.  For who Genel is today, we celebrate you and we thank you!

Dear Susan, when your illness started to manifest itself, you probably began to worry about Freddie and most of all, about Genel.  Mothers always worry about their children, regardless of how old their children get to be.  But rest now, dear Susan and relish the joy that our Lord has prepared for you for a job well done.  I know that your shoes will be impossible to fill, but I hope I can ease your worries a little bit in my own humble way.  I'm sure my hug, Genel, will not be as big as your Mom's, and my embrace will not be the same as hers, and my voice will not be as soothing to you as hers.  Dear Susan, a very poor alternative I know I will be, but I want to let you and Freddie know that I will always be here for Genel.  Just as our daughter Shalimar will always be here for her.

Once again, thank you, Susan.  We will never forget you.  God bless you.

I met Gen the beginning of the 7th grade, and her family immediately took me in.  We literally spent 7 days a week together, going back and forth between our houses.  I came to regard Gen's family as my own.  What I loved about that time was being included in family events.  I saw how Mom made her life about her family, and supported Gen to no end.  Although she lived a short life, she undoubtedly lived a wonderful life full of love.  To my second Mom, may you rest in love and peace.  Thank you for the times I spent with your family, and allowing me to spend time with my first forever best friend, my sister, Genel.

I remember Susan's house was home. She was my second mom when we were growing up. She always me feel like I was part of the family and that I belonged with them. It wasn't just sleepovers or birthday parties it was family vacations and night after night of not going home because I already was. Susan gave me the best gift of all Genel, my lifelong friend, and now my sister. Pain can sometimes test a friendship but ours will only be stronger.

Without our moms to turn to we have each other. I promise to treasure her for you Susan, and to never take for granted all the sacrifices and loving encouragement that shaped Genel into one of my very favorite people. May you watch over us from Heaven and say hi to Mom for me.

Mom, I thank you for always making me part of the family, like another daughter. I have to say 90 percent of my childhood and college years were spent at your house and when I look back at that I have so much love and grateful ness too you. You welcomed all of us to your house  any time of the day and made sure that we were behaving but would've  had no problem letting us know when we were not. During the first two years of college, Shalimar, Genel and I had a majority of classes together. Which meant that we were at your house for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner some days. I thank you for always keeping cinnamon toast crunch and steamed white rice on hand me. Your compassion, abundance of love and devotion to your family are what I admire in you.

Dear Mom,

You knew us when we were small and through high school - those years when we thought we knew it all.

That was when my bond with Genel formed so tight.  All the while, we only gave you a lil trouble right?

We were about the make-up and the tall hair; the typical teenage girls all a bit vane. You witnessed it all because our home base was at your house on Zane.

You and Dad never seemed to mind having us around, then before you knew it, we were all college bound.

The days got more busy, as we launched into careers of our own, but we always knew we had your house to call home.

So as I grew up, I didn't have a sister but no one could tell. Because of course, I found a sister in your beloved Genel.

I have always been proud to call her my bestest friend.  But I have never been more proud of her than lately as I witnessed her care for you til the very end.

Dad and Gen's hearts were breaking but they never left your side.  They were there making decisions, loving you, being strong - no matter how hard the ride.

Us girls witnessed some lessons too,
When we visited the hospital to spend time with you.

We learned the importance of family and of making amends.  Because of this, you were surrounded by the love of your family and the warmth of your friends.

Your sisters, our Titas, they were sad to see you go.  But they rallied around you daily just like your BFFs Tita Flower and Tita Glo.

Someday, us girls will have to face this too and we'll remember the example of love poured our for you.

Even in your dying days, Mom, you taught us lessons about life - 
How to pass strength on as a mom and a second mom, as a sister and a wife.

We thank you more than ever before, for giving us so much love.  We take comfort in knowing our second mom watches us from above.

Rest in peace, Mom, knowing we will always be here for Dad and Gen, until that day when we can all meet again.

Love you, Mom.

Love, Shally

Ate Susan...words cannot express how much I will miss you. I still couldn't believe that your gone...up to this moment I keep asking myself...why, why, why. Only God knows the answer. It will never be the same Ate Susan. I will really miss you so much. You will always be in my heart. Till we meet again...I love you.

Genel, Words cannot express how sorry I am for this great loss to you and your family. I hope that the memory of your mother makes the grief you are experiencing less painful. You and your family are in my prayers.

Ate Susan...now that you are gone, I miss you so much. My heart is breaking. There's nothing I wouldn't give than to laugh with you one more time; to cry together one more time; to hold your hand one more time; and to hug you one last time. I will never forget you...the memories are too much. Please know that you are in my heart and that I will miss your touch and smile. Days will pass and turn into years but I will always remember you with silent tears. I love you yesterday, I love you still, I always have, I always will. Until we meet again my dear sister...mahal na mahal kita.

For Mom:

I don't know how I'm going to get through this.  So please bare with me because I have a lot to say in my moms honor. 

First I am going to speak on behalf of my Dad:

As a wife, its so cliche to say she was the best wife to my dad.  But it's true.  My Dad told me he knew within the first few months of dating her that she was the one he was going to marry and love for the rest of his life.  He made that promise a reality on October 30, 1976.  My Mom had everything my Dad was looking for in a woman.  Aside from being beautiful and gorgeous (as you can see from their pictures), she was a very private, reserved, conservative, generous and simple person who always focused on her family.  Even though she liked her expensive purses and blingy jewelry, she always told my Dad that everything she owned, every purchase she made, everything she had, she was just "borrowing" from me.    Anything my Mom bought, she was always choosing for me.  That is how much she loves me, I was her deciding factor...  She was a very devoted wife and mother.  In my Dad's words, she didn't really spoil me that much, even though I was her only child.  My Dad also says that every time he looks at me, he sees my Mom in me, my eyes, my attitude, my facial expressions, my frown and my smile...  That's the biggest and best compliment I could ever receive.  Dad said as a little girl my Mom's dream was to travel and see the world.  And they sure saw a lot.  Sometimes I was even lucky enough to join the ride, which I will elaborate on later.  Just a few days ago my Dad told me that he asked my Mom a few years back what her favorite place was to visit.  Her answer was, and I quote, "Wherever I am with you, that's the best place for me.  You are my favorite place."   Dad said he cried for days from her answer.  After 40 years together and 37 years married, this is just one example of how my Mom is still very much in love with my Dad.  

Now in speaking from me:

For as long as I can remember, my mother always put me before anything else.  I was her number one priority.  My Mom worked hard because my parents wanted to make sure I went to private Catholic school so that I could learn respect, understand my faith and get the best education possible.  And at this school, my Mom unknowingly was able to give me the greatest gifts ever, my best friends:  Shalimar, Jennifer, Megahn, Yereny, Monica, Christina, Antoinette and Emily.   Because I was an only child these girls became my sisters.  They were at my parents house so much so that all of them called my parents Mom and Dad.  In fact, since they were always there, my Mom actually renamed our house Grand Central Station.  Not many of you know this but one of my best friends Megahn, her Mom also passed away on the 17th.   How is it God called both of our mothers into Heaven on the same exact day???  What are the chances?  Megahn and I have known each other since the 1st grade, we are only 4 days apart in age, and we even wore the same communion dress in the 2nd grade.  We've always been so in sync so I am taking this as a sign from our mothers that Megahn and I truly are sisters even if not by blood and that we need to lean on each other, grieve with each other and find strength in each other.  I love you Megahn...   We will  be bonded for life.   I know my Mom is looking down from heaven right now thanking Megahn, my best friends, my sisters, for being there for and with me and Dad during the hardest time of our lives.  My Mom inadvertently blessed me with their support.

My Mom loved traveling, doing things for her family and spending time with her friends.  One of my Mom's favorite things to do was to explore different parts of the world as I mentioned before...  I have amazing memories growing up going camping with her, my Dad, Tita Ann and Uncle Guy in the 5th wheeler or the motorhome exploring Utah, Colorado, California, New Mexico, Arizona...  The list goes on.   My Mom also enjoyed going on cruises including visiting far away places like Scandinavia, Russia, Turkey, Panama, Caribbean, Columbia, Finland  and Norway just to name a few.   My parents even took me back to our homeland, the Philippines, in 2006.  As for loving and doing things for my family, who could forget her always hosting Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas at their house every single year.  From now on the holidays will never be the same.  Neither will the day after Christmas, her birthday.  She would've been 67 years old three days ago.  Happy Birthday Mom... Also on the subject of family, she also made it a point to throw my cousins' birthday parties at their house every summer since they were all summer babies; Michelle, Crissie, Gian, Coco and Robbie.  My Cousins - I hope you will always hold those memories near and dear to your heart.  As for our other family and her friends, after retiring from Nevada Power just 2 1/2 years ago she started joining bowling leagues, attending prayer groups and playing cards with her friends and family at my Ninang Glo and Tito Ted's house.  She looked forward to this every single month.  She also made it a point to occasionally have lunch dates with her friends from Nevada Power, Emmy, Maria and Diana.  And every other month she would host dinner nights with my friends Heidi and Teri where we would cook and try new recipes like we were gourmet chefs, some of which were a hit, the others...  Let's just say we threw those recipes away.  These are just a few of the things my Mom enjoyed and never complained one bit that she was too tired or couldn't host parties anymore.   All she really wanted was to get together with family and friends as much as possible and just enjoy each others company.  

Everything my Mom and Dad did was for me.  I owe my life to them because I wouldn't be the person I am today without their sacrifices and hard work.  From taking me to Big Bear when I could barely walk so that I could experience snow for the first time to our last major trip across the world to the Holy Lands of Israel, Jordan, Italy, Bosnia, Croatia, Greece  and Egypt, all she wanted was for me to enjoy life to it's fullest and to show me how to experience the world.  My mom also taught me at a young age to be educated, strong willed and independent.  Sometimes this even made me stubborn and hard-headed.   And yes I see some of you nodding your heads out there.  But in that way, I have her in me.   And how can anyone forget her facial expressions.  From her big smile and joyful laugh to the scowl in between her eyebrows that she used to give me when she wasn't happy.  Even until the end she would give me that look while laying in her hospital bed, trying to tell me that she didn't feel good. 

My Mom lived a full life for only being 66 years old but she is still gone too soon.  This disease and the medical complications from it took her away from me.  And she never knew this.  But when it was time for me to get married I wanted both her and my dad to give me away.  Now she'll  never be able to walk me down the aisle with my Dad.  She'll never be able to touch and hold her future grand kids.  She'll never be able to make my family her delicious ribs, pansit malabon or kare kare.  The selfish part of me wants her next to me right now.  Standing.  Walking.  Breathing.  Smiling.  Laughing.  Visiting with each of you.  I'm already so lost and don't know where to go from here.  My heart is shattered and the only thing that can fix that is now resting in Heaven.   I can't imagine my future without seeing, talking or texting her everyday (and yes I was so proud to get her to text).  No one will ever be able to explain to me why she was taken too soon with so much life still to live.  The only thing I can think of is that my Lolo was lonely in Heaven...  Before we parted or got off the phone we always said I love you.  And being able to be there all day everyday throughout this sickness, I find a little bit of peace.  I find just a little bit of comfort knowing that she saw me with her day in and day out at the hospital.  I know she is above, being my angel.  And will bless and watch over myself and dad for the rest of our lives.  For that I am truly grateful and blessed.  I will love you forever Mom.  You are my everything...

On behalf of me and my dad I would like to thank all of you for being here to support us.  It means so much to look around the room to see and feel the love everyone has for me, my Dad and especially my beautiful mother.  There was a definite impact that my Mom made in each of our lives...  your lives... and I hope you carry that with you forever and that her spirit lives on in each of us everyday.  Thank you.

Our Father in Heaven...I asked thee to bless me and guide me that I will 
be able to say the right words about my sister.

Maria Susan Salazar: was born in San Andres Manila Philippines on Dec. 26, 1946 to Natalio Magat and Filomena Mendoza. She is survived with a very loving husband Fred SaLazar of 37 yrs. and their beautiful daughter Genel, her mother Filomena Magat, 94 years old of Las Vegas NV; Germelina "Baby" Valmores of Philippines; Noemi Molina of Las Vegas, Annabella Tanner of Cedar City Utah and Las Vegas NV; Cecilou Magno of Sidney Australia and our youngest Cynthia Aquino of California. 

For elementary and HS, Susan went to Paco Catholic School. I remember when she was in HS, she hated math, she was struggling to pass it. So my mom hired a math tutor. She graduated at the University of the East with a major in accounting. People always say that she was the prettiest. She was my Mom's favorite..My mom always make sure she has pretty dresses and always looking pretty. When she was in HS, she became "ROSA MiSTICA" queen of flowers, not once but twice in our province of Pillilia and Tanay Rizal. I was there on both occasions to support her and to make sure she's always looking pretty. Susan and I always look forward in visiting our Lola in Pillilia. Every time we go there during summer vacation, the place where my Lola live becomes alive. As soon as one person found out that we were there, 
guys her ages and mine started to pass by. At night, our Lola often say, "masaya ako pag nandito kayo pero hindi ako masyadong nakaka tulog". My Lola's would say, "I am so happy when you come visit me but I hardly sleep when you girls are here". The reason was, every night, Ate Susan was being "harana" serenaded. The guys will do this around 9pm when lights are out. So my Lola will get up, wait for the guys to finish singing and will say to them...o manga binata, Gabi na, uwi na kayo, itong manga apo ko eh may manga gatas pa sa bibig". 
( Hey guys, please go home. It's late. My granddaughters still has milk in their mouths). 
This serenade happens every night...but then during the day...when the guys stop by our house, our Lola will let them in. They will have a nice visit or ligaw with Ate Susan and I am the watcher...hahaha.

Susan had a lot of admirers while in high school and college. No dating allowed in high school. So...in college she was finally allowed to go dating. During that time in the Philippines....a girl has to have a chaperone. No chaperone, no dating. Well.. Guess who was the lucky chaperone. You guessed it right! I was the happiest chaperone. 
I got to go to some very nice places and restaurants almost every weekend...hahaha. Then every time one of her admirers will come visit...she would pull me aside and tell me to clean the living room and dust the furnitures. This happened every Saturday and Sunday. She would give me treats and extra spending money. She would tell me not to tell Mom. I gladly clean and dust the living room especially if I like the guy..but if not, I don't care is she pays me...nag dada bog ako (tantrum). Then she would say, if he brings some chocolates, you'll be the first one to choose...hahaha

She doesn't like to do chores like washing the dishes or cleaning the 
house. When it was her turn, she would talk to me and offer to pay me. She was like a queen in the house. She gets away with a lot of chores. Even her school uniforms...she would ask me to iron them and shine her shoes. I believe she still gets away of cleaning the house and doing dishes up to now....hahaha. Ate Susan was always there for me in times of trouble. She and I were really close since we were young. 
I thought when she came here in the US...what we had was gone. 
I was wrong...it became stronger. Of course any relationships has ups and down. We would argue and not talk for a long period of time. Pretty soon...we were a pair again.

She came to the US in 1973 and stayed with us. When we built our house here in Vegas, she help us so much. She help Guy laid the floor tiles in the entire house, nailed the wallboards and at the same time take care of me because I was pregnant with my second child Michael, my oldest son John was two. I remember how much she adored and loved John. He would often fell asleep on her bed while reading to him. She would read to him almost every night even 'tho she was tired from work. Pretty soon at the age of three, John would be reading to her. When my second son Michael was born, she was so happy but at the same time very worried. Michael was very sick when he was born. Like John, she loved Michael. She loved taking care of Michael except changing dirty diaper. There were times that we had to leave the kids with her. She would say, make sure Mikey already did number 2. 
I would say, "oh c'mon you love changing dirty diaper besides he already went....even 'tho he hasn't.
As soon as we leave the house, Mikey will dirty his diaper. Ohhhh...she would be mad when we get home. John would say, " Mom guess what Mikey did as soon as you left the house?". 
I would just laughed and Ate Susan would give me dirty looks...

Her first job was at Cruzens Mens Store at Caesars Palace as a bookkeeper, worked at Valley Hospital in the accounting Dept, then worked at NV Energy for almost 30 years and retired. 

Guy taught her how to drive and soon she bought her first car. Even though she wasn't making a lot of money...she never forget to send money to Mom and Dad every month in the Philippines for many years. After my parents came here, she never, ever forget to help them. I must say and proud to say...Susan was a very generous person. 

She loved to go shopping, almost every Saturday, we did some weird 
things while shopping. We would try outfits that are worn by celebrities and socialites. We would laughed so hard that other women were wondering what's going on. I would go to the shoes department and try shoes that I couldn't even make a step. I would joke to buy that shoes or that out fit for her. She would say, "don't you dare". Then we're off to the next store or have something to eat. 

She had her first camping experienced with us. We took her deer 
hunting in Northern NV. It took us 7hrs. to get to the camping area. 
She would read the places we were passing and she gets upset because I would correct her pronounciation. On the way, she kept saying, "can't we just buy the deer at the supermarket?" Guy, and I would laugh and John would say, "Tita Susan you are so funny". 

We would go to Puerto Penasco Mexico with Genel and Freddie 
every Spring break and had so much fun together. This was the time when I saw Ate Susan got drunk for the first time. She was so funny, could hardly walk and hanging onto Guy. The next day..she swore she was never drunk.

We pretty much traveled the world together. From US, to all over Europe, and Philippines. In May 2010, we took the Mediterranean Cruise and said that we would rest from flying and not go anywhere far. Sometime in August 2010, we were at their house planning our next vacation for 2011. All of a sudden, Guy mentioned that he wants to see the pyramids before he dies...she looked at me and raised her eyebrows. Pretty soon we were looking at some cruises. She said this trip would be a perfect b-day gift for Guy which was September. I agree... We were in Europe for a month with some very special people that she loved, like Ate Glo, Flower, Alex, and especially Genel and Freddie. I must say Freddie and Guy became brothers instead of in-laws. We do almost everything together. 
Two years ago... Ate Susan and I were talking about our travel plans. I told her that I will not travel in the year 2013 because of the 13th number. I had to admit that we did travel this year but darn...I didn't know that she would be traveling far without me. Our relationships was not perfect...who does? But in the end....we were always together. 

These past three months was one of the toughest times for me and Guy and especially for Freddie, Genel and Mahal.
Ate Susan contacted a very bad virus called "MYOSITIS" a muscular disorder. She was immobile and Freddie took care of her for a couple of months at home. Then sometime in September she went in the hospital. This was the time I knew how much Freddie and Genel loved her. They didn't leave her bed unless it was time to eat or go home. Knowing Freddie, he didn't care about eating. He just want to be near Ate Susan. 

The last 31 days of her life, was a very grueling time for the five of us. 
We were in the hospital day after day for almost 10 hours a day. We practically lived there and got to know the staff of San Martin of St. Rose de Lima. Loosing a special person for the third time was very very hard for me.

On behalf of Freddie, Genel, Guy, Mahal and I, we want to thank you all for your support, your love, your concerns, your thoughtfulness and the yummy food. 
We want to thank Freddie's brothers from Califormia: Nol, Mar, Ely and their families and Rod and Carmen of Las Vegas. 
My sisters Ate Baby, Noemi, Cynthia, Cecilou, and families, Andrew Magno from Canada, Gian Molina and family; my sweet niece Coco Molina who spent her days off with us in the hospital, Genel's girlfriends, Reno Travaii, Rick Magno of the Asian Journal of Las Vegas, Rudy and Sollie Herbas of Daly City California, Dan and Vickie Mangarin of Bonita, California. Becky, Gerry and sweet Kyle Rejano, Cora Lerit, June Brill, Alex and Flower, Minnie and Romy. The co-workers of Genel from The Las Vegas Water District. Too many to mention. All the e-emails I received day after day from friends and relatives. We could not have done this without all of you.
To Kuya Ted and Ate Glo Pabalan... never miss a day....I don't know what to say, no words. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Thank you, thank you, thank you all. Maraming Salamat po sa in yong lahat. 

A new beginning of life for my sister, Maria Susan Salazar. I bet she is so happy now looking at us. There are no more pains and worries. I know that she was welcomed with an open arms from her grandparents, aunts, uncles, relatives, friends, my son Michael and most of all our Dad. I will miss her so very much. I know that Freddie and Genel will miss her more.

My sister Susan..my heart tells me that growing up with you was one of the best things that life has given me. We had our disagreements of course but I came to realize that you were a very special friend and sister. You have always been there for me and together we shared secrets, laughters and tears, and I am blessed to know the joy of sharing my childhood with you. I am forever grateful to have a sister like you. I love you very much. 

A dear friend sent this quote to me
"BECAUSE I HAVE SISTERS...I WILL ALWAYS HAVE FRIENDS" 
I am so happy I still have four sisters to laugh with and to fight with.

Ate Susan...now that you are gone, I miss you so much. My heart is breaking. There's nothing I wouldn't give than to laugh with you one more time, to cry together one more time, to hold your hand one more time, and to hug you one last time. I never will forget you, the memories are too much...please know that you are in my heart and that I will miss your touch. Days will pass and turn into years but I will always remember you with silent tears. I love you yesterday, I love you still, I always have, I always will...

At this time, I ask The Lord to bless Freddie,Genel and Mahal with strength and comfort. Whatever you're facing today....keep going, the pain will go away, the wound will heal, give it time. I know it's easier say than done but what I know is...there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Guy and I love you both very much. Remember ...her memories stays with us forever...no one can take them away from you or me. 
Until we meet again, my dear sister Ate Susan. I love you very much...mahal na mahal kita.
I say these things in the name of the son Jesus Christ, Amen....

Dearest Geneli, I am oh so very sorry for your loss
I have so much faith that the lord will not take his angels early just because
She lived a long, healthy, happy life, that our lord felt it was time he needed a little help
He may be all mighty and powerful, but even he needs a helping hand from his angels he dealt
Geneli, I can't even imagine what you are going through right now
You were her only child...and of that, I am very sure that your mommy was and still is very proud
Always remember that it's okay to hurt, feel sad and cry
She is mommy, you are daughter, that in itself is a strong bond of friendship and love, that was and will always be nearby
Look deep into your heart for love and comfort by reminiscing beautiful memories
Because there is where you will find her until you can be with her once again, up in heaven, with other angel sons, daughters, daddies and mommies 
My prayers are with you and your dad.

My friend Genel, 

There are no words.  I am just so sad to see you and your dad so heartbroken.  I pray that you find peace and strength to get through such a difficult time.

Love, 
Blanca L. Moreno

Susan worked for me during a very difficult time for NVE.  She was one of my best workers and I could always count on her diligence in getting the job done.  I also spent a lot of time with Susan and I considered her not only an employee, but a friend.  I am very sad that she left us so early.  Condolences to her family.

To my Vegas Mom....I want to thank you for always allowing me into your family and treating me like another daughter. You were taken away from us far too early and this is harder than we could have ever imagined. Genel and I have always talked about what are we going to do when something happens to our parents, but never thinking it would be now. You have a beautiful spirit and have touched so many lives; all the Gorman girls, me and so many others have had the privilege of knowing you. I remember trying the food that was foreign to me on New Years Eve that Genel said "brown will never eat that" and I wanted to make you proud, so I did...all for Mom. The trip to Tita Ann and Uncle Guys' Utah house for a weekend of family fun and 4-wheeling when we told you to do the gangsta look for the camera and turned your hat sideways and we took all those pictures. Even some holidays dinners at your home, I am forever grateful. I will always remember the trip to Utah, the family functions you included me in, singing (or attempting to sing) karaoke in the living room,  and all the other times you and Dad and Genel opened your hearts and home to me when my parents were in another state and I didn't have a family here; your family is mine.  You are unforgetable and irreplaceable and are sorely missed. I promise to take care of Genel as you would want me and us girls to do...but you will never be replaced. I pray you are out of pain and are with Lexy and the many other loved ones we have lost over the years. I love you Mom...and we miss you forever...you have my word that I will do the best I can to take care of Genel and Dad and we honor your name the way it is meant to be honored. You have forever touched my life and I can't thank you enough for being you. With love, Valerie Brown

Fred and Genel:
We are thinking of you and sending our prayers.  Time and memories always makes things easier.  May god bless Susan with eternal life!

Dear Fred and Genel, Ann and Guy. Ralph and I were blessed to share in some of your family events with your family, on your visits to Utah.  Susan will be missed and yet remembered with happy thoughts and smiles on our faces. May you stay strong at this time and always. Love to your family from ours. (Ralph and Kellie Baker)

Dearest Freddie & Genel,
We know it is hard to understand why Ate Susan was taken from us, but find comfort in knowing both of you were a special part of a well-lived life!

Wish you hope in tomorrow and take comfort in the love of family, relatives & friends. 

Here's hoping that the love and support of those around you would help you through the days ahead.

With much love and hugs, 
Cecilou, Olan, Ardie, Angelo & Andrew Magno

Our dear Freddie & Genel, Our prayers and thoughts are with you in this grief hour. We pray that God grants her eternal rest in heaven and that her soul rests in peace.

Freddie and Genel, Susan brought so many happy and special moments in our life.  She was a good friend until the end and we will never forget her. We are praying for you in this difficult time. May she rest in peace.

Dear Salazar Family:  My prayers are with you at this time.  I worked with Susan at Nevada Power for many years.  She was so smart and always eager to help me.  I am thingking of all the fun times we had with her at Nevada Power.  Susan is with the angels now, she will be missed.

Uncle Fred and Genel, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. May our Heavenly Father comfort you and give you His strength and peace always. We love and support you.

Our dear Genel, we pray that the Lord grant you and your Dad the strength and consolation you need during these sad and difficult days.  And we pray that your Mom share the joy and peace of the angels in heaven.

Fred and Genel, you may know me only by name, count my prayers for Ate Susan's departure from earth. I am very sure she is already with our Creator. I am the daughter of your Lolo Pinong, brother of Tita Menang. It may be hard at first but with God's grace, you can go on with your lives, just what I had when I lost my parents. And believe, she is in Heaven and looking at you and praying for you too. Love you guys. 
                                                                            Sylvia Mendoza

Tito Fred & Genel,

May the good Lord give you all comfort and strength thru these times.

We will continue to pray for you all and please know that you are all in our hearts and minds.

Dearest Mom,

I'm continuing to pray for you as your soul departs, and that you are now able to rest in peace, free from pain. Thank you for loving your family, and allowing me to be a part of yours growing up. 

Dad and Gen - My heart hurts for you and I wish I could heal your hearts. I am praying for you both, in hopes that the pain you feel will lessen with time.

The three of you were my second family growing up, and knowing you as I do, and seeing all of your pictures, I know in my heart that Mom loved every second of her life with you. 

My deepest sympathies, 

Jenn "Bautista" Roldan

My dearest Genel, I cannot imagine what you're going through. I just want you to know that I will continue to pray that God may give you and your dad all the strength you need. I'm here for you always. Love you lots my cutie patootie.

Mom, please guide me.  I need you.  I want one more hug, one more kiss.   I need to hear your voice.   I miss you so much.  My heart is in so much pain and I will never be the same...

Gen

Dear "Mom" - my heart breaks to have lost you, never having imagined we would have to say goodbye so soon.  I thank you for the role you have played in my life, and in all the lives of us girls who grew up with Genel as our best friend. We draw comfort in knowing you will be watching over us and guiding us from above.  It is from there that I hope you see that our love for Genel and "Dad" is endless and that we will be here for them always, especially now in their time of sorrow as they grieve your loss.

May perpetual light shine always upon you, Mom.  May you rest in peace.

Love, Shal

Genel - I am so sorry for your loss.  My prayers are with you and your family.

Genel and Fred,  My heart goes out to you at this tremendous loss. Susan just loved life so much! You and your family are in my prayers.

Dearest "Mom" - to lose you breaks my heart, never imagining that we'd have to say goodbye so soon. I thank you for playing a role in my life and the lives of all of us girls who grew up with Genel as our best friend.  We are comforted that you can watch over us from above. It's from there that I hope you see that our love for Genel and for "Dad" is endless and we'll always be here for them especially in this time of sorrow as they grieve your loss.

What beautiful photos of a life well lived. Genel and Dad my heart hurts with you. May Susan rest in peace free of pain and in Gods hands. -Meg

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Genal and Family:
I am at a loss for words, I understand your pain, and I know that my own words won't be enough, so I've included a quote and scripture to think about and hopefully bring comfort:
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~From a headstone in Ireland

Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.

May God's love envelop you and keep you strong for each other.

Karen

Dear Genel,There are no words at a time like this,My family and I wish to express our deepest regrets at the loss you just suffered."Those we love never die, just depart before we do."I wish you strength above all.         Paula Ramos Feustel and Family

Mom, I will never be able to put into words how much you mean to me.  And I can't thank you enough for all of the sacrifices you made to give me a better life.  I do not know what to do without you.  My heart is shattered.  I am in so much pain.  I'm just hoping and praying that as my angel you will guide me because I need you more now then ever before...

Love you forever with all my heart...

Your only child...

Genel
