Francisca has always been in love with the man of her dreams. Together with her husband Remigio their family grew like the flowers and plants in her garden. She nourished all of God's creations with lots love and lots of food. She also created such beautiful art like ceramics, clothing, and crochet everything. She could mend anything from clothing to a broken heart. She loved to cook and we definitely loved her food.

She was so many things to so many people. Wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, best friend, nurse, and teacher. Known to everyone as "Mami". As a little girl she grew up being a second mother to all her siblings. She worked in Mexico as a nurse in the hospital and would also do house calls. You did not have to be related to her for her to love you. She would just adopt you and make you part of her family. She would fight the entire world to protect all who she called "Her" family.

Mami, Te amamos hasta la luna.
