Amelia (and her husband Rod) were such great friends of my parents.  I have many memories of them coming over to our house (always on a Friday night) and all of them listening to Mexican music, having a couple of drinks and ending the evening with coffee and pastries.  Amelia was a lovely lady and often called to check on our family after our Mom passed in December 2011.  We loved her very much and my sister Yoli and I offer our condolences to the Chiono family.  She will be missed but is definitely a beautiful angel in heaven now with her beloved Rod (whom she lived so many years without) and my parents.  There is no doubt in my mind that the 4 friends are together again.  Rest in peace, Amelia.  We love you!

I was surprised to hear of Amelia's passing.  What a wonderful lady she was!  She was always smiling and laughing. Rod and Ameila were very good friends of our Mom and Dad, Rose and Sal Garcia.  Years ago, I remember them coming over to our house and the Mexican albums came out along with a cocktail or two.  The four truly enjoyed being friends.  When our Mother passed in Dec 2011 and Dad in Feb 2014, thoughtfully, Amelia would occasionally call to see how we were doing. She was a precious lady to all here on earth and now she is an angel in Heaven watching over her family and friends.  I just know the four of them are together in Heaven, playing the Mexican albums and having a cocktail or two once again.  May they all rest in peace in God's arms.  Our sympathy goes to the entire family.
Love Yoli Edwards and Margo Garcia
  

To the family of our dear neighbor Mrs. Chino, 
I have such fond memories of her making great Mexican food for us as kids and always being their for our family.  She was like a mother to my brother Lou when my dad, who was raising us, at our Carmel Way home died.  I am forever grateful for that. May her soul Rest In Peace!  I know she is with God in heaven.  May God give your family comfort during this difficult time.

To All of the Chiono family sending our heart felt condolences

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
