I miss you so much grandma💔😭 There's so much going on. It was hard going into this new year without you and my mom, the most important women in my life. What I wouldn't give to hear your words of wisdom and inspiration. I could just hear you saying, "you know... it's going to be alright Breanna. We're here" I cherish the last few days we had together. I love you Grandma. Until we meet again. Please tell my mom and dad I love them and I miss them❤️❤️❤️

love and miss you so much mommy, your favorite daughter Dez
 

Mom, 
Christopher  is growing up so fast. I will continue to take show him, what you have taught me. 
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mom, I miss you so much 😘! I lay down in  your bed every night. I miss hearing you ask me in the morning if Christopher ate before he went to school!  I miss talking with you about what we need from the store for dinner.  How you would  tell me to watch over Christopher always.  We promise to take care of  and  show him the love that you showed us. We are so grateful for  you  giving  us the  unconditional love to me and George and  Christopher!  I just wish I can hear you say what's for dinner Ophelia ? George and Christopher will be home soon.  Words can not explain the love you gave all of us. I miss you so much!!  

Lorenzo always made sure she was included. He would go sit with her in her room or at the kitchen table and just watch her. He took it very seriously 😄. He talked to her about things that made no sense to her but she always listened. She would sneak him money like grandma's do. Every morning and every night he would hug her and they would tell eachother they loved one another. They would talk about my mom and how they missed her, Lorenzo would tell grandma that my mom was watching her from heaven and protecting her. I'll miss their little bond they had and appreciate it while it happened. Thank you for loving us Grandma ❤️

My dear sweet Grandma. How I miss you so. Having a part in taking care of you the past 7 months was such an honor.  After you left it felt like I didn't have a purpose. My mom had just passed and you were all I had left. Then just like that, you were gone too. At times I feel a bit lost without either of you but I promised you we would be ok. I miss hearing your bell go off every hour or less to tell us you were ready to go to the kitchen for a cigarette. Some nights were rough and I know first hand the effort put in by Aunt Ophe and Aunt Viv when it came to caring for you. I'll miss Lorenzo and Christopher running around and me telling them to be quite so they don't scare you and you telling me to let them run because you couldn't hear it but enjoyed watching it. I'll miss watching Lorenzo with you and he took care of you in his own way. You cared for every single one of us at one time and for that, as a entire family unit can never repay you. I read all the beautiful words people have to say about you and every last sentiment is true. You opened your home and heart to all. Such a beautiful woman in and out. Everyone has a story about you where we sit at the table and you talk to us about your life growing up and how you and grandpa made such an amazing life together. Because 2 people fell in love we now have this huge family to love one another. Thank you for everything Grandma. I'll love you forever, in this life and the next. 

Grandma thank you for letting me be apart of this family for 14 years. Lorenzo loved you so much. All he does it ask if you're OK in heaven and if you are with his Nani and Papa taking care of his guinea pig 🙂. You were such a strong woman that I know where Liz got it from. You've always accepted me and I'll miss walking in and you saying oh Paul what a nice surprise. We love you Grandma. 

From your favorite grandson,  your little Mijo. Love you always 💕 

Grandma , all the things I’ll miss about you… You ,waking up my mom to wake me up for school, getting my clothes ready in the mornin  g, peeling me oranges after school, making sure my mom or aunt Viv cooked food for me, making sure my clothes were clean and that when my mom or dad wasn’t home so you had to take me to school.  I love you grandma , I will always miss you!

Mom, it’s only been a couple of weeks and I miss hearing you say Good Morning. I miss you being in the kitchen with me, I miss your voice asking me how I feel or reminding me to make appointments for myself. I miss how much love you gave me, how you lovingly  mothered me!! I’m going to miss our daily phone call we made. I going to miss driving you home the long way, so you could see downtown and then stopping for sandwiches. I will miss our weekend lunches and makeovers it was just the two of us. ❤️ I miss walking by your room and seeing how your doing, I put lights on  so it could feel like your there. Most of all I will miss saying “mom”. I wish you didn’t have to leave cause I need you now. I will give to my family the love and caring you gave me. Mom I wish you could take this pain away, I’m missing you so much I feel a little lost. 
I wish I could hear you  say “Vivon “ just one more time. I love and miss you dearly 
Love, 
Vivon 




She had a great sense of humor, and was very COOL! :)

I will miss you Mary...

I love this picture of Mary. She was so happy all her family showed up for her Cinco De Mayo party dressed up for the occasion! <3

I was honored when asked by her daughters to write something for the pamphlet we would hand out at  Mary's services.  She was a simple lady who loved and gave very much. The legacy she left is strong and will live on for all who will shoulder what she taught by her example.
" Remembering Mary"
This special lady had many names and titles, Wife, Mom, Grandma, Sister, Mother-in-law. She wore each one like a badge of honor.  The names Little Granny & Grandma Mary were the most special to her heart. Her grandchildren and, great grandchildren were her greatest joy.
Mary took her role as the matriarch of this family very seriously. She was a strong-minded woman and steered the ship of her household till the very end. Don't you go left if she wants to go right, or she'd give you an eye ball about it! 😄
Mary had a gift to make people she came in contact with feel like they had a special relationship with her. Many have been the benefactor of her kindness. Whenever you came to her house, she wanted to feed you, and whenever you left, her last words were always, " Ok, I'm here".  She was a selfless human being, always thinking of others first, especially her family. She always saved her money, not for anything she wanted, but to put it aside in case her family ever needed her help.  She never did these things in public or for the appreciation, she did it because it came from her heart. 
Mary left a beautiful example for her children and grandchildren to carry on and pass down to future generations. Her legacy of love, strength, acceptance, and generosity, will live on in the hearts of all who loved her. She will be missed beyond any words can ever express.

 


(continued) Grandma always pushed me to be independent, and often gave me the skills I needed to accelerate in life. As a kid in elementary, my grandma would take me to school daily. We had a morning routine of driving to school, parking the car, then getting in line to get my breakfast and eventually walking to class together. Everyday, she reminded me of the importance of eating breakfast and school. One day, we parked the car, and to my surprise, grandma did not get out. I initially felt so devastated and lost, then she turned to me and said “You guys are ready to eat breakfast and go to class on your own now. You will be fine.” At the time I was sad, but eventually I understood how she took the time to empower me before I took those steps on my own. From birth, she prepared me for the moment that I would finally spread my wings, and before I knew it, I was flying. 
 It has taken me a long time to accept this loss. However, I soon realized that God uses good people to do great things. So here I am today, to say a final thank you grandma, for being an amazing woman who used everything you had to love and support us all. Grandma cemented herself in my heart and life forever, and for that, I am eternally grateful. I speak for many people when I say that it was truly a privilege to have loved and been loved by grandma. Anyone can come up to me and ask me who I admire most, and without hesitation, I will always say her name. I do everything in her honor, and to preserve her legacy. I, along with all her other kids and grandkids, are living proof of the greatness that emerged from Mary and Vincent Quinones.


Hello! My name is Samantha Quiñones, I am one of Mary’s great granddaughter. You might hear this a lot today but I really was her favorite. I just want to start off by thanking everyone for being here. It’s incredible to see so many people come together to celebrate the life of my grandma. I know how much her loss has affected all of us.
Even as I stand here in front of everyone, knowing where we are, it has not hit me that she is gone. She taught me what unconditional love is. I will never forget how she would run my warm bath and as I sat there playing she would gently wash and comb my hair. Her arms as she held me were always so comforting, and even on her toughest days she would always smile at me so I could feel her love. Her love was always gentle and patient. She would always iron my clothes, even my socks, because she knew how much I loved putting them on warm. She saw a future in me, who I could become, and she always cultivated that. Every day after school, she had us do our homework first, then play. The skills she taught me and discipline I learned, is the reason I have been able to go so far in my life. Every accomplishment I credit to her, and everything I do from now on will be in her Honor.
	From my earliest memories, grandma has always been right by my side. I admire her greatly and I can wholeheartedly say that I never felt deprived of a thing in her presence. She was the best cook, teacher and storyteller to have around. Grandma always provided a space for learning, love and most importantly, a space for growth. 


Grandma Mary,
 
Its been 10 years since I first became part of the family, and it did not take more than seconds for you to accept me. I admire you as I admire all the woman in this family. There is a toughness and strong will their and its no secret that comes from you. I have seen the way this family comes together for you and it is a beautiful thing to see. The laughter, smiles, and memories that were created are forever with us. You provided a safe haven in your home, which always felt secure and welcoming. I remember making the announcement of our first child in your home and revealing that it was a boy. The joy that it brought you and everyone there was so special to us. I hope you know that you have a legacy and it continues to grow as we raise our children and grandchildren. You will always be remembered and truly missed.
 
Love Sabul =)

Grandma, we are missing you dearly. I am going to miss going to your house and visiting with you. There is just something so special about going to Grandmas house, it is known for the best food and a great time. Thank you for being the best Grandma to me, Sabul lol and our kids. It was so wonderful to watch you care for them the way you did. We will always remember you and will continue to share and reminisce with each other on all of the great stories you have shared with us. I love you Grandma❤️

I will forever be proud to be your granddaughter!
Love Monique


First foremost, I would like  to share  how I had the privilege to be part of Granny's life. I say  Granny because I know that you had to be special to call her granny. in my heart she will always be special to me.
It was just like yesterday that I can remember sitting with Granny and having sweet bread and coffee, while she had coke and cigarette
that's what she liked the most was good conversations with each and everyone who stopped by to see her.  she taught me many things in life that I will not forget.  Granny was very blessed to have a beautiful family and a very welcoming family at that.  Granny you are so loved and taught me  a lot about being wise and not judgmental.  Thank you for this.   I love you dearly. 

So many memories I have of you…. My dearest Aunt Mary you were such an inspiration to the Solorio family. The beautiful friendship you gave to my parents which turned into family. I will always remember the family thanksgiving dinners that we shared which you always invited everyone and made each person feel so welcomed. All the Christmas’s we spent with you and your family. Making sure we felt as if we were a part of your extended family. Thank you for all the advice and stories you shared. We will always cherish those moments around the table spending that time together. Till the very last time we held hands you could not speak but I knew you still wanted us to know you felt our presence. I love you and will always remember you. With sadness and a heavy heart I say goodbye but it gives me a comforting feeling knowing you are united with your daughter Chula and Uncle Vicky as well as my dad to greet you in the house of the lord. Until we meet again in heaven I’m really going to miss you. Love you Aunt Mary. 

Grandma…I got the pleasure of meeting you for the first time on one of the family Easter celebrations about 3 years ago…I don’t know if I ever shared this with you but I never got to experience grandparents and what it felt like to have a grandma or grandpa until I met you. You showed me so much love and shared so many stories with me. I truly enjoyed sitting around the table with you and aunt Rosie talking about all the places you worked at, the funny hotel situations you guys got in, the love you had for your nails, and so many more stories. I really enjoyed FaceTiming with you and showing you when Mikey and I would make salsas or smoothies at home. You were so loving to all of the kiddos and everyone that came to your house and you always made sure to remind us to eat while we were there. Grandma, thank you for the sweet hugs, the thoughtful gifts, and for sharing your stories with me…but most of all thank you for letting me be a small part of your wonderful life. We are all missing you so much already. ♥️

My heart It’s so heavy for all of your family Mary.  You were the rock of the family and so many years of love and guidance that you showed them will forever be missed.  Anytime I went to your house you always wanted to feed me and made me feel so welcome. How many times did you tell Ophe get her something to drink see if she’s hungry! You didn’t know me that well but you were so kind and made me feel at home.  I know all of your family is feeling so lost without you but I pray that they keep up your traditions and show each other the love that you taught them that a family should have for each other.

Dear Aunt Mary, you were the picture perfect example of a loving  dedicated and devoted wife, mother grandmother sister and aunt to so many.  You and your beautiful family always made me and my family feel loved and welcomed, together we made so many beautiful precious memories, that I will cherish always.  Aunt Mary thank you for all your love.  I will miss your funny humor and bright smile but you will live in my heart forever!  Love you always, Gloria.

Mom, I’m going to miss walking in the house and seeing you smile at me like you haven’t seen me in years. It’s true what everyone is saying how you made all of us feel like we were your # 1. Being a mother and a grandmother, I get it. 😊  I’m going to miss your beans and chorizo and all the comfort food you always had for everyone to enjoy. I guess this means, I need to get busy and make sure I now have these dishes at my house for my family.  Mom, because of you, I know how to be a good wife, mother, and grandma. Thank you for your unconditional love and support for me and my family. We will always keep your memory alive so that our grandchildren will never forget Grandma Mary. Melissa and I will do our best to keep your family traditions going. Mom, you were truly the light of our family and I’m going to miss you!   

I love you mom.
Olivia 


I was always welcomed at Ophi's house like family and I just cannot get over how your mom, would be like "hey you hungry, want some salsa?" when I tell you that stuff was sooo hot, she just smiled and said "that's not hot, y'all it was so hot I will miss her dearly.  

Dear Grandma 

      You been a Huge piece in my life . I’m great full for the unconditional love you gave us and helped raised me!! There’s so much you did for me as of being Who I am today !! I will miss you of course, You were my last Mohican. I will have to be strong again and I will for you grandma because you where my anchor!! I love you so much and I will miss you.  Now you can Rest In Peace!!! 

My deepest condolences to the family, Mary was truly a wonder woman. An inspiration, not only as a mother but as a person. Her kindness enveloped anyone who walked into her home. From the moment I met her she always made sure I felt welcome. We would sit in the kitchen and tell stories and laugh. And when she said she wanted capirotada for Easter, I called my mom right away to make sure I got it right just for her. She deserved the absolute best because that’s what she was. Listening to everyone tell stories about her, I can see the love everyone has for her. It is through that love and those stories that her legacy will continue. I was honored to have known her and I am honored to tell the legacy of Mary Quiñones. 
Forever in our hearts

Grandma! I love you so much . I’m going to miss stopping by your house after work and eating dinner and just telling you about my day. There’s so many great memories I have with you. I remember when my car broke down and you would drive me to work ( I knew you still liked driving) and I always thought I was so funny that a big guy like me was getting dropped of at work by his little granny ! Lol I always think about those times and smile . Thank you for always being so caring , loving and understanding about everything . Thanks for letting me live at your house and get to spend time with you and eat your delicious home cooked meals , no one ever left your house hungry. Thank you for your unconditional love and your contagious laugh, thanks for all the jokes and great memories, thanks for all the stories you would tell me , and thank you for all the gifts you would order me from QVC I would love sending you pictures of me using them . Thank you for being amazing . I love you . 
Mikey 

Oh my sweet lady! My heart has mourned for you day and night. I miss you beyond words. I would give all I have to hear your voice and hug you one last time. You made me so proud to be your granddaughter. I will always live with the love that you left behind. Thank you for always providing me with endless, unconditional love and a home. You will always be the best part of me. I love you for life mi reina. 

“A million times I have needed you, a million times I have cried. 
If love alone could have saved you, you would have never went. 
In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. 
In my heart you hold a place that no one else can ever fill. 
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone.
Part of me went with you, the day God took you home.”


To this poem I have cried countless times. Knowing that the love you had for me in this life will not end, but rather you will continue to love me from above, and as such, the piece of me that you took will continue to love you from here. I am nothing but a seed in a garden that you have planted and nourished, and for that, I thank you a million times. 

All the love, hugs, and kisses that I can give,
Yours truly
Sam

Mary... I appreciated you and times we've spent together. You we're my mother-in-law and held a special place in my heart. 💝 I've been apart of your family for nineteen years, and during that time I've learned that there was nothing more important  to you than your family.  You always wanted to make a party for one reason or another,  just so everyone can get together and have your family surround you. You greeted everyone the same way when they came in the door, like they were your favorite person in the world. Going to your house without you here is bitter sweet. When I'm there I remember all the goodtimes, but it's like having Gisow with no meat. It's not as fulfilling without you there. 😪  I know that line would have made you laugh, and you have said I could have been compared to something better than Gisow, Melissa! LOL 😆 
You knew everyone's ways and loved  us each unconditionally. You connected with each of us and made us feel special. A Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Sister, and Mother in law, we belonged to you, and you belonged to us, and always will.❤️  You will forever be thought of and missed. Love always, Melissa


Aunt Mary you were one of the best. All I remember when I was a kid is your big house and your squeaky voice. Loved it! But I’ll forever remember the Christmas eve parties with all the family. Huge. I’ll miss you Aunt Mary. And to your family I hope all is well. You will be missed. For you were one of the best. Love you Jesse little Jesse baby Jesse

My dearest grandma,
I am still in shock and in denial that I will not hear your voice one last time or feel your hair and soft skin pressed against mine while we hugged. You were the biggest impact and role model to me, from teaching me how to make my own avena in the morning, a quesadilla on the comal for lunch, making sure I was in routine to finish my homework straight after school  & how to make my $5 allowance last til my next allowance check! I’ll always remember the memory of running straight to your arms on my first day of the 1st grade and how you’d stay with us for breakfast in the cafeteria until the bell rang. I’ll forever be grateful for you implementing structure, love, and a caring home for me growing up. It saddens me you’ve been able to witness and celebrate every milestone in my life with me except this new chapter I am entering as a mother. Please watch over me and continue to check in with me through my dreams from time to time as you’ve done so twice already and your presence/energy was so strong I still continued to wake up in disbelief that they were just dreams. I love you grandma , I will forever miss you and reminisce on the memories we have together😞🙏❤️

My Little Granny... I can't believe you are gone. You have and will forever be one of my favorite human beings. 100%   I will forever cherish the memories we have shared.  I will miss seeing you, talking to you and always making you laugh.  I can still hear you telling me that I was your favorite. (=  Thank you a million x's for always being there and loving the twins unconditionally. Please continue to watch over them from up above. You will truly be missed.  I love and miss you already, My Little Granny 😔#ForeverInOurHearts❤️🙏 

Grandma i Love u so much and I miss you so much I’ll never forget everything you have done for me my brothers my mom and my dad. I think about you everyday and will forever be thinking of you ❤️ I remember when it was just me and u sitting in the kitchen and we would just talk Those were the best days.

Thank you for loving Lorenzo the way you did.  I'll miss watching you 2 together. You were so strong in all that you did. You were a little fire cracker down to the end.
