Miss you so much suegra. It doesn’t feel real. I keep waiting for you to come downstairs with your Sudoku. Hearing your feet slide on the floor, trying to guess which way you’re going. Your presence is greatly missed and this is all so unreal. I pray that you were greeted by the arms of your parents, Lala, Tata, and sister Lichon. I know for sure Snoopy jumped into your arms with excitement. I miss you, but I’m happy that you’re reunited and that you’ve gained your wings. Please say hello to my mom and take care of our kids. Love you Neni. Until we meet again… 🕊

Neni, you are going to be missed by a lot of family and friends. I will always cherish wonderful memories of you. I remember the times you and I would go dancing and laugh all night . I appreciate all of the advice you gave me and my children. You had such a huge beautiful heart and always loved to play with your grandchildren. Your love for dogs will never be forgotten. I love you Neni very much and missing you. God took another Angel home spending time with Grandma, Grandpa and Tia Lichon. Love you Neni

Neni,
It has been a year since you were taken from us. You cannot imagine how much you are missed. Every time I see anything lavender, or foods that you and I enjoyed eating, cream of broccoli soup, hot and sour soup. I miss you. I will always appreciate everything you did for us, helping us with mom. Always thinking about my sisters and I and making sure we were ok. Thank you. I love you.
Letty
