Mi Reina, 
Ohhh where do I even begin to start. My grandma wasn’t only my grandma but more of a mother to me. She was the sweetest most big hearted hardest working women I’ve ever met. Never drove a day in her life but always found a way to make it to work all the way up until she was 79 & still didn’t stop there as she would take home orders there was no telling her to rest either she loved what she did. Sewing was her passion the way her face would light up seeing others reactions to her work was a beautiful sight! 😍 She had no excuses for anything she went through. I watched her struggle but NEVER seen her break. Always kept a smile on her face & said “Dios nos va cuidar, y el siempre está con nosotros”, raised me to believe in myself & always told me to have faith in god in everything i went through and to believe in him. Growing up we would take the bus everywhere & I would love it every Sunday we’d go to church I’m going to miss our little coffee dates in the morning, our walks to the flea market our trips to stores she made every experience fun she was hilarious!! Her food was amazing always kept the family together during the holidays & would always do it big for us. Im glad to have shared so many memories with her that i will forever cherish & I am blessed she got to meet my kids & pass down the love to them ❤️ She always put others before herself opened her doors to everyone she had a special touch that will remain with every single one of us all her kids grandkids & great grandkids a special type of love like no other🥺 She’s the reason i carry myself the way I do she taught me how to be humble, loving, caring & forgiving. Mi abuelita chula i know you are now resting and no longer in pain or suffering,  you’ve gone home to the one with the answers’ heaven most definitely gained a beautiful angel 😇🕊🙏🏼 I know you are at peace & will forever be by all of our side taking care of us from up above. 🤍

Grandma Coco was the best. She was definitely a strong little woman that had a big heart. To her we were all her babies. Thank you Grandma Coco for always being there for me when I needed you. I know you are I Heaven now but I will always miss you. I love you Grandma Coco. 😘❤️❤️❤️

Mama
My mother was a simple woman she didn’t care about make up and fancy clothes , material things, she helped the homeless and whom ever needed to eat she would feed , she would go as far as letting them spend the night in the house if she knew they needed a place to sleep for a night.. my mother was truly an angel…she was a hard-working woman never missed a day of work even if she didn’t drive a day in her life  rain or shine, many of my friends always told me they saw my mom walking and they would pick her up and give her rides and I so appreciate that but my mother love to walk and she loved to be an independent woman so she did what she had to do to get to and from where she needed to go. she always found ways to get to where she needed to go with no one’s help and very little english she was an amazing woman that’s suffered a lot. She always did the right thing she always showed us love unconditionally, obeyed my father, she had 11 children with him she loved him until the last day of her life I admired her seamstress talent! she taught us so many things how to be strong how to work hard, how to be loving caring giving how to forgive, how to love how to laugh and enjoy our family. I’m happy to say that as we her children got older we were able to spoil her as much as we could and try to give her just a tiny bit of the love and gifts that we could to make her feel loved we talk to her all the time she laughed with us she was funny she always got our jokes and made them funnier I’m really gonna miss her laugh but I am so glad that she is no longer suffering and I know she is not suffering and  is with our father Jesus right now… all her grand children adored her and are all so heart broken but at least they got to know her and will always remember her beautiful soul!  She will always be our queen! AMA te amo ❤️ Socorro Garibay and to my kids she was grama Coco!  Thank you for all you did for your 11 kids.. 💔🙏✝️ and all the grand kids too!  You were amazing! 💔❤️✝️

My Nona taught me a whole other meaning of love❤️ Always reminded her how much I love her. Her passion for sewing was a beautiful sight to see💕 I love her so much and will be missed dearly💕🕊 I love you Nona❤️

The one memory I will always have of grandma is her telling me "I love you too." She always told me she loved me every time I saw her. She was always laughing with my mom, Corazon. I couldn't tell what they were saying but her laugh always made me laugh too. She also added a black velvet bow to a dress I would always wear for choir and recitals, which  was my favorite. Thank you gramma for everything you did for me and for always loving us. We love you too.  ♡

A piece of my heart has been taken. My grandma was one of the strongest, loving, caring Angels on this earth I know. She raised a strong family with a bond can never be broken. Thank you grandma for teaching me the meaning of family.  I already miss your laugh, your jokes, the way you called me and my sister Brianna her babies 🥺. Even though I treated her like my baby lol. Thank you for helping us through the hard times. Thank you for everything Gramma Coco.  I love you always, we love you always. Rest In Paradise my Heart. Our best friend. 💜
