My beautiful Cousin. I just read of your passing. You, Gabriel, and I were so close growing up. Your son speaks of you both yelling out the window and scaring people walking by. Well that was originated by us three. We got in so much trouble by Tio but we still kept doing it. It was fun to see their reactions to us dumb kids. I remember Gabriel and I were shooting those big Rubberbands at your feet, trying to make you spill that big cup of soda you dragged everywhere. We were laughing because you did this crazy dance, didn't spill a drop. Then started teasing me hard because YOU said I couldn't dance as good.
I hope that harsh teasing got handed down to your boys. That can never be a thing to go away.

I live you so much Cuz. You made life fun and that will never dissapear.

Love you, Gabriel

I remember meeting you when I was 18 in 1995 and we already knew each other through our parents.  My brother Manuel and I send condolences to everyone.  Till we laugh again, may you rest peacefully.

 It was Easter Sunday, she was 2 years old. Cousin Melisa sin camisa and Latisya were shoveling dirt into their Easter candy pails. When they rose off the ground, their bottoms were muddy. I asked if they wet themselves? They looked at one another, nodded heads and softly said, "no". Okay? Everything was alright, nothing was wrong. Dorothy Hamilton's School of Dance. Charade and her cousins recital performance, the Flight of the Bumble Bee. It seemed they couldn't find their way. The audience laughter was enjoyable to hear. It was funny! Latisya soccer playing days stopped suddenly, she didn't want to run even though she was the teams goalie. I heard a pleasant voice when she sang. Sweet. Good-night, Pumpkin.

The first time I met Charade I knew right away she was Frank's  daughter. She had lovely, long curly hair, dark mischievous eyes, and dimples. She was both charming and strangely somewhat distant.
I liked her because she said what she wanted whether it might hurt someone or not. Her hands were always busy. She was either eating junk food, drinking large cups of soda pop, or smoking. She had a singing voice just like the girls or women she heard on TV or radio.
But she had a deep void in her life. Something missing which she couldn't find. She knew a lot of people. She will be missed by more than anyone realized. If Heaven can find her for only a brief time will they be moved or will she?

I member the time me and  my mom would roll around while she was partying Haha and yelling out the window "AHHHHH!!! " and scaring people walking down the street, and then there it was a lady in which seems to be walking her rounds at the park picks her butt and we seen it and looked at each other with caca looks Haha so she yells out as we pass "SAW YOU PICK YOUR BUTT!!!" Haha that lady looked soo embarrassed haha. She would always figure a way to get a laugh out of life whether it have been with us or with her being in her crazy thoughts Haha love you momz Rest In Paradise

I remember when I bump into her , at circle k , and she yelled out to me tia , tia Sylvia , it’s me . She was so skinny and so beautiful , for a moment I did not recognize her . But then I look at her beautiful eyes and I knew it was my neice. So we sat together in my truck for hours and hug and cried and laughed and talked about so many beautiful moments in our life ! I will never forget her and all the beautiful moments we shared , you are in my heart and I will miss you ! Love you From your Tia Sylvia 

I remember going to the state fair with my mother every year just to take pictures. “They take good pictures” she’d always say. I’ll always have her on my mind when I take my daughter there to take pictures. And someday her children as well.
