Josephine Reyes Martinez

She is survived by her daughter, Lydia Moreno; her two granddaughters, Elaine Moreno and Lillian Pedroza (Paul); two great-grandsons Dominic and Donovan Pedroza; and three siblings, Luis Martinez, Christina Martinez, and Eulalia Torres.

She will be forever in our hearts.

I’d like the memory of me

To be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an afterglow

Of smiles

When life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo whispering

Softly down the ways.

Of happy times and laughing times

And bright sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve,

To dry before the sun

Of happy memories that I leave

When life is done.
