Grandma touched so many peoples lives.   I am going to miss her smile, her laugh. Her kind words every time I would speak to her.  She would always make sure I knew how much she loved me and all her grandchildren. 

I have so many memories from my childhood spending summer days with her.  Going over on holidays.   Her tamales were always the best.  I will cherish all the great memories I have for the rest of my life.  I love you 

Grandma, you have always had an unconditional love for me that made me feel so safe as a child. I knew that no matter what, my Grandma would have a smile on her face when I came around. You have given me so many rich memories that I will value for the rest of my life. I'll never forget the one-time grandma finally got in the ice-skating rink but had to be saved by the people that worked at the mall. It was a big scene. Although there were some things that Grandma was afraid of, she was never afraid of being the funniest and loudest in the room. Grandma had such an infectious laugh that could fill a stadium; it never failed to amaze me how powerful my Grandma's laugh was. Her joy radiated to the people around her, and I will carry the joy she brought into my world for the rest of my life. She was so good at telling stories, and telling stories again, and maybe repeating herself on-last time. Not really because she would forget what she would say, but because she loved talking so much. Her bright and social personality was so beautiful. But more than being a profound character in my life, I have to show appreciation to my Grandma for raising my loving father. Without the strength and perseverance that my Grandma embedded into my father, I don't think he would have the characteristics that make him so awesome. I have to thank my Grandma for my father. Grandma has affected my life directly and indirectly in so many ways. I will remember her as a strong, charismatic, and happy woman. I love you, Grandma. I wish you would have been able to see me graduate, but I promise I will make you proud.

I’m going to miss you so much. There’s so many memories going thru my mind right now as I’m typing this. I remember the days when me and my brothers would stay with you and you always made it fun to be there. Me and destiny teaching you how to play yellow cars. You was always in that position waiting to see one so you can hit my dad. Your laugh, I loved hearing your laugh... everyone going to miss your laugh. Me and my dad would never forget when you saw Jc and asked him what happened. I love you so much

Where can I start besides telling you I love you so much Grandma. There’s thousands of memories we shared together an with others. There’s the times where all the grandkids would stay over at your house an we would all sleep in your bedroom knowing we weren’t going to fit but you just wanted to make sure we were safe. There’s the times you an Manuel would take Joseph an me to the mall where we learned how to ice skate, y’all even bought us a pair of skates an we still have those pairs till this day. Or the times where Joseph an I would mess around with your weights to see who can lift the heaviest an you would be right there trying to out lift us. You are a very beautiful, kind, thoughtful  an strong person Grandma an that’s why everyone loved an cared for you so much. I’m sorry I never learned how to fluently speak Spanish so I can tell you about myself or learn more about you but I’m glad that never stopped us from always talking. You always had this way of me making me laugh an smile that no one else could do an I’m thankful for that. Thank you for giving me this one last gift before you parted ways from us. I will always cherish it and have it as a remind of you. I love you Grandma, you’ll always be in my heart  and I can’t wait to see again some day. 

No words can describe my feelings. I miss you dearly our daily talks your laughter ypur advice your unwavering love..this world does not feel the same..to hug you and hear you laugh is what i wish daily..i love you so much

La vamos a extrañar mucho. Cuando  jugaba con mis hijas table games en navidad, y la llamada mijo mándame mi chofer,, la alegria que le daba cuando hablábamos que este año se gradúa tephy de enfermera . Y que nadie hable mal de Jorgito . Descanse en paz mi suegrita. 


Grandma ,
I’m going to miss you dearly. Your warm hugs and kisses will forever be in my heart . Your laugh was contiguous and you knew how to make everyone laugh/smile . I always looked at you as a powerful woman raising a strong man whom I call my father..... I wouldn’t dare say anything funny about Jorgeito cause grandma will defend him with all her mighty :) .You took exercising on another level taking my sister and I to the park so you can exercise then come back home to do set ups hahahaha. You and Manuel always made sure we had a fun time when we will go over . I LOVE YOU 

LOVE, 
Jackie Landa 

I’m going to miss you , I know you are in heaven making friends like you always do .I’m going to miss hearing your laugh.

I’m going to miss her a lot. She loved going out every weekend and get breakfast in the morning, before going to exercise at the park or go to the mall and walk for hours. Even when she was watching tv she would grab some weights and be working out. She got along with everyone she met that when they didn’t see her they would ask where she was. She could carry out a conversation no matter what the topic was about and that’s why people missed her when she was not around. She is a big loss to everyone that got to know her, especially her family. Rest In Peace Chachita.
