Love Calista 

The day you passed we lost a beautiful angel. You defined the word family the love you had for all of us was just amazing. You were beautiful inside and out never a hair out of place and your face was always flawless ready to walk the red carpet. I have so many memories of you, one that sticks out is you would watch my cousins and myself and we would all get in the car and take my grandpa lunch when he worked at GM. The love you had for grandpa just warmed my heart, true love never dies. Grandma bear bear you will always be in my heart, watch over us and protect us. Until we meet again hugs and kisses. Your granddaughter Noreen and kids.

Mother-in-laws usually are subjected to all kinds of jokes. Not mine. Evelyn was a kind and caring woman who loved everyone, and everyone loved her.
She would always welcome me in her home even before I dated DeeDee. She is also the reason we got married.
She was, and is, a true example that every woman should aspire to be.
She will be missed but never will be forgotten. My life was better for knowing and loving her.

I will forever be grateful to Evelyn for sharing her wonderful family with me. I am proud to have been able to contribute to her legacy. Grandma Bear Bear will always have a home deep in my heart.  The memories of her and Grandpa Bear Bear giving everyone a Christmas envelope no matter how hard we tried to ask them to keep it, and the pride in their eyes when they looked at their entire family together at camping trips and holidays will give me comfort as we tell her great grandchildren stories about Grandma Bear Bear. Evelyn was the matriarch of a strong family with bonds that cannot be denied and I hope to feel half the love she has given and received from her family when I get to see her again. If I do, then I will have a life well lived. I miss you Evelyn and I look forward to seeing you again someday. 

My mom was a beautiful woman and had a heart of gold. She was always thinking of others, she was a kind and thoughtful woman. She would never say no to anybody and was the most generous person I knew. She loved her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and always found a way to spoil them.  One of her biggest joys was to see her whole family together, she taught us the importance of family and how family bonds can never be broken. My mom was with my dad since they were teenagers, she loved my dad dearly ever since.  I  miss her so much until we meet again, I love you mom💕🦋

Grandma Bear Bear, you were such an amazing great grandma and we will miss all of your stories and your beautiful smile. We love you so much grandma♥️

Grandma Bear Bear, you were loved by so many and had a heart of gold.  You taught me so many life lessons. I appreciate all the times we got to spend together. You always taught us the importance of family and what it meant to love one another.  I have so many great memories growing up with my cousins and playing in the backyard of your house. You always made sure we were having fun, you set up art stations so we could all do arts and crafts together and for that Grandma, I am truly greatful to you and Grandpa for all those beautiful memories. You will truly be missed but I know one day we will be reunited again.  I love you so much Grandma.

So much to say about my Abuelita Chula. I have so much love and admiration for her. Grandma has always been such a beautiful person not only on the outside, but from the inside as well. She has a heart of gold, she is elegant, she is graceful, she is loving, she is missed dearly by so many. I remember going over the house every morning during the summer and there she was always sitting at the dining room table with her fancy light up mirror "putting on her face" and or curling her hair. She would say Guera you should always look your best and never leave the house without makeup. She even told me she would wash her face and put on a fresh face of make-up on before bed just incase there was an emergency she would already be ready to leave the house. Aye Grandma only you would think of that. I remember her driving with two feet on our way to have lunch with grandpa. I remember so much, but what I will never forget is how you made me feel. The love that poured out your heart into those hugs were the best! We'll miss you dearly Abuelita!  Love: Guera, Carlitos, Cachetona, & Chulo XOXO!! 

One time I was crying when I was a baby and sugar momma gave me a hug so I stopped. 

Sugar momma I miss you and I love you!

I miss my sugar momma very much! My favorite memory is with her at her birthday party. I also miss going to sugar mommas house and feeding her. 

I miss you sugar momma!

Love,

My grandmother was a beautiful person inside and out. Growing up I don’t remember a day she didn’t have makeup on and heels! Her family meant everything to her and it was truly an honor to be at her bedside when she needed us most. She is missed heavily here but I’m at peace knowing that she’s somewhere beautiful and no longer in pain. 

Our Grandmother was an angel to anyone who was fortunate enough to know her, and now our angel has taken her rightful place in Heaven.  Until the day I can feel your arms around me again, the warmth of all your love will remain inside me. I love you Grandma.

Evelyn was a beautiful soul, who had such a caring and loving heart.
We are so blessed to have had her in our life and to bring us such a wonderful daughter in law like Maria. Thank you sweet Evelyn 
May you rest in peace.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.

My mom has made me the woman I am today. She always put god and family first. There are no words to tell you Mom what losing you has meant. I promise I will continue to take care of Dad as you did for the last 70 years. 

Our Grandmother was truly one of a kind. Her loving ways and uncanny ability to love all those around her made her so special. She was a constant presence in our lives.  Though she is greatly missed, we take comfort in knowing one day we will be reunited. Until then, she is the suns warmth and gentle breeze... Reminders that her love is everlasting. Her legacy lives on through us and Grandpa. 

Thank you Grandma for being the best example of a wife and Grandmother. I am blessed we were able to spend so much time with you growing up. I will miss your unexpected visits. I love and miss you so much.

I have so many memories of my grandmother, and I cherish them all.  I don't know which memory to share with everyone, so the one memory I will share is how wonderful, loving and kind this person was to everyone in her life.  She really did love her husband, her family and especially loved her grandchildren.  Her love is one of a kind, and will be greatly missed.
