Me and Estella (La Penny) as she was known to us growing up; were childhood friends and later on became comadres. I know for certain that we never lose the people we love. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure and that to me Estella will forever be. I share a part of her and I will for the rest of my life, I was known as “Nana Cawina”  Estella was my grand-daughters Nani who I know meant so much to Estella as Estella would say “son mis oyos” my grand-daughter Ari was blessed to enjoy 7-years with her Nani whom my grand-daughter loved and will always love dearly. Although, no words can really help to ease the loss you bear just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. My deepest sympathy go out to La Familia Holguin y La Familia Garcia.

Tia, I love you and miss you soo much! I know your in a better place but I  miss you so! I am so glad I had the time to tell you how much you mean to me and it felt so much better when you said "I know it and I feel the same about you". I'm thinking of you everyday. love you too much! Ness

Garcia Family,

Sadness seems to be everywhere today.  I wanted to comfort you somehow with words from the God of all comfort in Revelation 21:4 "God will wipe out all tears  and death will be no more".  I look forward to a time when we won't have this kind of pain and all will live in peace and happiness on earth.  I send my sympathies at this very sad time.

A Friend

Estella, como te extrano amiga.  I know you're in a better place but it's a very difficult time for me and the many others who shared your life. I will never forget our talks and the way you'd make me smile and laugh. May you sleep with the Angels, my friend.

My dear sister I really, really miss you so much. You won't be at your house so I can spend Friday's, lunch time and after work with you but I know you are peacefully resting and not suffering anymore. I know someday we will be together again. I will continue to help Julio, Julie and Cruz with the kids and in what ever else I can help them. Love You Too Much

To the Holguin and Garcia Family; My prayers go out to your family during this difficult time. Estella is now  an Angel that God called home to watch over you, she will be your guiding light in heaven.  Estella was an amazing woman who was truly a blessing to all who knew her.  May all the prayers from everyone she touched with her love comfort your family. "The joy of the Lord is your strength" Nehemiah 8:10

My dear sister I'm really, really going to miss you. You won't be at your house on Friday's, at lunch time or after work so that I could visit or to talk to when I have a problem. I'm very heart broken but I know you're at peace and not suffering anymore and someday we will see each other again.  I will do everything I can to continue to help Julio, Julie, Cruz and especially the kids. I Love You Too Much.

Stell, we met more than 12 years ago at work, SRP. You were a true friend to me.  You showed me what true goodness is. You are the nicest and most genuine person I have ever met. I am very grateful and thankful for your friendship. I will NEVER forget you friend! Julian, Julie, Anissa and the babies, I am praying for you all..
