Mom, Antonia F. Gonzales, is resting peacefully in the presence of her Heavenly Father Jehovah God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You went to be with the Lord on January 2, 2011, at home with us, surrounded by love and peace.
Mom, you will be dearly missed but loved always. Thank you for being a loving mother, grandmother, wife, daughter and Sister-in-Christ. It is because of your example, prayers and believing in a God of Mercy and Love that you were able to make us all feel loved, special and like your favorite child. Mom, you showed us how to pray, forgive and love each other and to love our neighbors. You served and ministered to all you met, all the days of your life; you never met a stranger.
We pray we can honor your legacy and memory by living life as you did in faith, service to others and sharing Christ as the only way of Salvation.
