A sweet memory of you and your fun loving son, and as always - we miss you both & wish that you both were here.

You two always had an abundance of love for everyone in your lives.  A love that can never be measured.  Miss you both more than words can ever say.

Your precious baby, Michaela, is now a 2024 high school graduate.  We missed you on her big day, but know that you and her Daddy were watching from above.

❤️.  Always love and missing you, Mom & I’m sure Jess, Big Mike & my Michael are happy you are with them now. 

Wishing you were here.  😘

Our hearts went with you on the day you were called home.  Nothing has been the same without you.   You were our rock and our strength.  Please look over us always.  We love and miss you dearly.  Especially me.  Happy Angelversary, Mom!

Annie, 
Sometimes it's hard to believe it's been 4 years since you left us, and at other times it seems like you've been gone forever. I miss you and I miss the stability that your presence gave to all of our lives. You were the glue that held the family together and we are lost without you 💔
 Give my love to everyone and give my beloved Michael a big kiss for me, along with all of my love. I miss him so much...
Love, 
Shelley

Hi Mom,

It's been three years already since we have laid you to rest, and it sometimes feels like yesterday.  The lump in my throat and eyes that fight back the tears, help me to feel the pain of losing you.  The pain hurts so deeply and lets me know that I continue to love you so deeply as well, and I always will until I see you again.

While we all struggle with so many losses in our family, as the years progress...I pray to God that the love and strength that you taught all of your children, Grandchildren, and Great-Grandchild, will never fade away.

Loving you forever & always...your #1 Daughter, Mary Ann

Happy Birthday Mom!  You would have been 95 today!   How is Heaven?   I’m sure God our Father had a beautiful mansion waiting for you.  My memories of how many times there were when you would open your home and heart for the ones in need, well…there were just too many to count.   From our distant cousins from our sister city, to those in the bands, or the ones who needed temporary refuge from a difficult home life….your heart was always willing to love and give.  Your strength is immeasurable too.   There is not a soul on this planet that is more stronger than you, in my eyes.  I know your road was never an easy one to travel, but I never heard a complaint.  You were forever gracious with everyone & though I could never hold a candle to you, at least let me light one for you as I celebrate the day you were born - and forever blessed to have been your child.   I love and miss you so very, very much, Mom.   Happy Birthday with much love from Princess #1.  :-)
P.S.   I picked this picture to remember how fun it was gathering your Great- Grandkids for this photo shoot!  Wish you were here to take some more!  Love you!

Sweet Annie,
Oh how I miss you! Wishing you were here to  celebrate your birthday today. Take care of my Michael, kiss him for me and give my love to Mikey and Jess, as well as my mother, sister and brother. 
Happy Birthday with love,
Shelley

Dearest Annie,
Thinking of you today, on your birthday, and missing you oh so much! Give the guys a hug for me and give my Michael a big kiss 💋

Sending my love to you all,
Happy Birthday❣

Love you,
Shelley

Hi grandma, I hope you’re resting easy up there. It’s been one year since you moved in to your forever home. We think about you every day. I love to share memories with Michaela of the days before she could remember. Those days when I had to come home on my lunch break to feed her, you’d always have lunch ready for me and we’d sit and talk while I ate.  You’d share stories of your childhood and I would listen with fascination. . Those were the best days. I’ll forever treasure them. I miss you. I love you. Say hi to those with you that are equally missed. Happy Angelversary Grandma. 

We miss you grandma! sooooooo very much. 💕 I will forever cherish every memory I have with you. Until we meet again take care of the boys upstairs. Athena tells me all the time that she misses you. 

Annie,
I've been trying to write my feelings down but there are no words to truly express just how much you meant to me. I don't know how I could've survived after my mother died if I didn't have you and I couldn't have loved you any more if you were my birth mother.  Our world was a safer place with you in it. You were our shelter from the storm. Your quiet strength and selfless love comforted us and we knew everything would be alright, that we would be alright.  The enduring faith and love of the Valadez family is what kept me going after my Michael died. I drew strength from all of you. It's this strong faith, family values and mental strength, the foundation that you instilled in your children that enabled me to make it through a year ago today and which still keeps me going. The world is a much different place without you, Michael, Jess, little Mike, my mother, sister, brother and nephews and other loved ones that are gone but it brings a smile to my face thinking about that joyful reunion in Heaven. Hug everyone and give them my love and give my Michael a big kiss from me. I miss him so much! I'm so thankful to have had you in my life...

With all of my love,
Shelley


The day this picture was taken, you had been sitting in your chair watching movies all day, up until the moment I had to use the restroom. I remember coming back to find you gone and the backdoor wide open. It was a lovely, Spring day and you wanted to see your flowers. 

"You caught me!" you laughed when you noticed me standing in the doorway. I remember the smell of the grass and the sound of your laughter. I remember the sweet conversation that followed, all about your roses. What I wouldn't give to go back to that day. 

You were the light of our lives and while I miss you more and more with each passing day, I am so beyond grateful to have had you at all. There is not a day that goes by where you aren't on my mind. Thank you for all the laughs, the stories and the lessons I'll surely never forget. I'll be seeing you, Grandma Anne. With all the love in the world. -Cecily

You would never smile if you knew someone was taking a picture of you, so half of the photos I’ve taken were supposed to be secrets, but I sure am glad I took them. Your smile was infectious and beautiful. You lit up every room you walked into with your presence alone and I am blessed beyond all words to have been able to capture the few, bright moments that let us see that radiant smile. Thank you for all the lessons, all the nights we spent watching the same old Westerns on TV (you know I’d watch them a million times with you if I could). Thank you for the laughs and thank you, most of all, for being the greatest, loveliest and strongest woman— no, PERSON I have ever met. I love you more than words could ever say. I’ll be seeing you, Grandma Anne.

Happy Angelversary, Mom!

     Your love will be carried with us, until we meet again!  You are enjoying the presence of our Lord, your Grandson, Michael, your sons Mike and Jess, and all of our dearly departed.  The love you shared with all of your children was too great to describe.  You had so many years of sacrifice, yet still made us feel so very loved beyond measure.  And like your Grand-daughter Stephanie mentioned  when describing her Dad..."you taught us so much, except how to live without you".  The pain of losing you can be quite unbearable at times, but the strength that you have shown us all throughout the years has set the example of how to get through life.  It's not easy, but we will try to be as loving and caring as you were - until we meet again.  I love you, Mom

Hello, Mom....
Tomorrow will mark one year since God called you home.  It seems like yesterday, and sometimes like forever.  Not a day goes by that I feel overwhelmed by our loss.  To describe the love that you bestowed upon us all is just too hard to put into words.  To say we love and miss you so much is never enough to describe the emptiness that we all feel.  I cannot put into words the pain of losing someone so beautiful as you.  Every waking day, I send you and my Michael, my brothers Big Mike and Jess, a soft "Good Morning". and hope that it reaches you all.  I know that I feel you around.  I feel you in all the beauty that God sends my way for each day.  Thank you for your faith in God, it helps me hang onto one more day.  I look forward to that day when we will all be joined together.  Until that day, know that my heart breaks for you.  Life will never be the same.  Please guide me through each day, each year, and help me hang onto the beautiful lessons that you taught me.  There will never be another you, nor love like the unconditional one that you showed to all of us.  I will carry this broken heart until the day God calls me home too.  Please know that I feel so afraid to cry because I am afraid that I might never stop.  My heart hurts beyond belief, but I'll do my best to hang in there until I see you again.  Please hug my Michael and brothers, & all who have gone before us.  There are so many of them now.  Just feel my love for you and know that I realize your love for me and the family will last forever.  Love lives forever.  I will never be the same, but I will always hope that your beautiful qualities will manifest themselves in all of us left behind.  I love you.

Every memory of you is my favorite. I miss you  oh so much, how different life is without you.  Waiting until the day we meet again...you are my angel.
God Bless you and the Mike's we miss you all. May you rest in peace always... as you joined the other members of  the family.
 For thou is the kingdom and the power forever and ever Amen! 

HERE IT IS TUESDAY AND  YOUR NOT HERE TO SHARE COFFE
AND A COOKIE OR CAKE WITH ME.  I'LL MISS MY TUESDAY &
THURSDAYS  WITH YOU. 

MY LOVE ALWAYS 
CARMEN


Happy Birthday to you! We would have had a fun day today!
I will miss you,  God keep you always. 
Tell the Family I miss them all.

My love to you always.
