My Aunt Petra was a very sweet loving mother, wife, and grandmother.she will be missed dearly.
I remember when Pat she would come over to Chevela’s & Chamine’s house & before she would knock on the back door. She would always yell out Chevela’s name a couple of times CHEVELA CHEVELA so loud everyone in & out of the house knows when Pat was there at the back door. Up to this day I always yell really loud my mother-n-laws name also CHEVELA CHEVELA!!! Loved that lady!! I will personally miss her but I know she’s in a better place now. Pat please say hello to my momma & daddy & I miss them too. Rest in piece my friend!!!
Who could ever forget such a sweet and tender heart? Who could ever forget a humble and loving spirit? Who could ever forget a loyal and kind friend? Who could ever forget? Not me. My best friend for so many years who could make me laugh every single time I’d see her. Heaven gained a new citizen for all eternity. “Goodnight sweet Princess and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest,” Shakespeare’s Hamlet
Sorry for your lost. Hope you are going through this ok.
My thoughts and Prayers go out to the Children and Grandchildren. I can say that I will never forget this little Lady! You dont find too many that live life with such a free spirit, and full of spunk like Mrs. Petra. RIP Madre!
I will always remember this wonderful lady she would always have a smile on her face and never did I see her upset !! I got to spend some time with her and she would always talk to me about life she gave me good advice always. “Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.â€
