Her lack of formal education inspired her to ensure that her children achieve the highest level of education possible. In spite of her lack of English skills, she insisted that English be the household primary language often sacrificing her participation in her children’s conversations. At times her children used this to their advantage and she knew this but her unselfishness reminded her of her dream for her children.

Mommy, God has called you home, we are broken hearted on earth, but heaven has welcomed you there. We can never say goodbye to you, because we could never bear the pain. Instead we say I love you Mom until we meet again.

The viewing will take place on Friday Oct 5, 2012 from 4pm to 9pm with the rosary to be recited at 7pm at Trevino Funeral Home, 226 Cupples Road, San Antonio, TX 78237. A mass celebrating her life will take place on Saturday Oct 6, 2012 at St. John Berchman’s Catholic Church at 10:00 am, followed by interment at San Fernando II.
