“I will miss you so much!!!” I know one day I will see you in heaven and we both will rejoice with the Lord. Danny & Michael are so sad but know you’re taken care of by Jesus we all Love you! Rosie Valdez
There is no way I can fully articulate the sadness and sense of loss I am feeling now that my Grandma is gone. I love you so much Grandma and I cherish the last day I saw you. I remember you cried because I was coming back to Maryland and you were afraid you weren’t going to see me again. Little did I know that your fear would come to fruition. We spent a few hours together. You brought gifts for me and my daughters. I had never seen you cry before. You told me that you felt bad for not being a better Grandma. What you did not realize is that in my eyes you were an amazing Grandma. Your fierce independence and work ethic is something I deeply admired and respected. I still have the last bottle of perfume you gave me and I cherish it as well as the jewelry you gave me that last day we spent together.I’m so happy I spent that time with you and that I also got to talk to you just a couple weeks ago. I pray one day we will meet again. Til then you’ll are forever in my heart.
Grandma I thank you for everything you did for me. I looked up to you in so many ways. You were an amazing cook and I have fond memories of your food, especially your shrimp quesadillas. I know you are in heaven cooking up a storm for the angels and family that went before you. I am so sad you didnt get to meet your newest great-grandson. I will tell him all about you. I miss you and still can’t believe you’re gone. I apologize for any spelling errors as I am crying as I type this. I know you will be missed by so many. You had so much charisma and you could turn a stranger into a friend in a matter of minutes. Love you so much Grandma.
A loving sister that embraced her siblings with so much warmth and kindness. Always ready to whip up a meal for family and friends if they graced her doorway. My sister will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Her husband, children, and grandchildren were her life! Love you, Sis!
