Tia Chuy, you were a big part of my childhood and always made me feel well taken care of and safe. Thank you for always being so caring and attentive towards me and my siblings. You were always present at every significant and special event in our lives. I love you Tia, You will be forever missed. 

Tia Chuy, 
We the family are all grieving for all the love you shared, but at the same all the memories on how much we love you. I remember how in 1982, I lived one year at your home with you and my cousins, where I remember you feeding us, walking us to Mojave park, and enrolling me into school...you were like a mom to me. We the family deeply miss you, but we will always hold on to the memories for a lifetime. I love you Tia, we all love you so much. May your soul rest in peace. 🕊️

Mom,  Growing up in Mojave wasn’t the fanciest or nicest area but we made it fun.
 We always had family that loved us come over to hang out, poker nights, summer/ winter breaks, and the after school spot. Maybe because  you cooked the best food in the whole world. My mom always made sure we were not hungry. 
My mom was always there for me since day 1. From a child to an adult she always made sure I wasn’t hungry, looking clean, and that I wouldn’t miss school and then work. I had to hear it if she knew I missed work. I had to explain that I have so many weeks of vacation in a year.
Then comes the grandma part. She loved all her grandchildren. Jaime, Ulysses, Aidan, Isaac, Naomi, and Roman. 

Tía Chuy, siempre te voy extrañar. Los recuerdos que tengo contigo siempre los tendré en mi corazón. Siempre me quisiste y cuídaste como una hija y por eso el amor que te tengo es eterno. Descanse en Paz y te quiero mucho tía 🕊🤍

Querida Tía Chuy,
Aunque siempre tuvimos una relación pasiva, siempre me daba alegría verla. Ahora su jornada a culminado en el descanso. Su memoria nos acompañará en cada reunión Familiar. 
Tia Chuy, que su camino en esta vida le haya traído gozo, alegría y paz, como la que usted dejó en sus seres queridos. Que Dios La Bendiga en su descanso. Amén. 


I love you Grandma, thank you for being the best. I will never forget the memories at your house during summer break, after school or some weekends although you always said “ no chiquillos on the weekends” but you did anyways. So many memories we have will stay in my heart forever. Until we meet again Abuela I love you so much. ❤️

Grandma , I love you and I’m going to miss everything about you. All of the random calls to talk about the chisme , face time calls , or all the car rides back home. I’m always gonna be sad your gone but I know god gained an angel with you. I love you always grandma ❤️

I will miss you dearly, When I had a problem or when I needed to talk to someone you were always there for me. My heart is broken in a million pieces, I feel like I lost a mom. I will always carry you in my heart. I love you Tia Chuy forever. May you Rest In Peace with all our family in Heaven.
