Mom, 
I miss you ! So many things I wish I could tell you every day.  You had a heart of gold and there is nobody on this earth that can take your place in my heart . I wish I could just hug you one more time and tell you how much I love you . Your laughter still echos in my head and your warmth still surrounds me . I love you so much and can’t wait till we meet again in heaven.  

i was googling your name and came across this. Its made me tear up because i truly miss you more then ever!! you were the woman that took me and Katie inn when we had no place to go. You were the only mom that i actually known and the one of the best people that had the courage to take on such a hug responsibility, the woman that made a big impact on two babies life and made us appreciate life and what it has to offer. You may not have been my real mom or dad but you made us always feel as if you gave birth to both of us (i happy to have family in my life like that) and you made it known that you were going to protect us to the best that you could. Honestly i have so many great memories with you, charlie and apa plus all our other memories on 4th street in down town riverside but most of all it always made me feel right at home! never once have i felt unwanted or in danger. I could never forget nor can i ever not thank you enough for taking care of us and how you were by Katies side when she her appendices broke and she was super sick to the point were she could of died but yet always manage to keep clam and make both of us smile and laugh as if nothing bad happened and everything was going to be okay. things to remember about you (here is some but only some) your laugh, that you had specially when you took me and Katie trick or treating and i said a bad word in Spanish and went running  your BOMB cooking that you manage to make everyday for us. (mexican food) your story telling about the Aztec lover and how he was your man and all the ghost stories.  your smile that always lasted never once have ive seen you mad unless it was at Charlie (haha) or my dad (but they deserved it!!! the fact that you would make sure that me and katie had an amazing child hood (friends, parties,toys, food, dressing up, mini adventures, and a since of imagination) I love you MOM!!!! even though you were my aunt, you will always be MOM to me!!!you will always have a big space in my heart !!if i could take everything back to spend more time with you i would, only god know how much i miss you and how i wanted to spend more time with you!! you will always be a big part of my world !!!
