Grandma,
I feel so blessed to have had the ability, unlike many of my peers, to know and establish a bond with my great grandmother. You will forever have a huge piece of my heart. I find peace in knowing you have entered your eternal rest and are no longer in pain. You were such an amazing woman of many talents and I will miss each of them. I promise to always value family the way you did and have a life full of love. Rest easy 💕

On behalf of my family I would like to send condolences to my Grandpa Julian, Mother Loretta Raya, Uncles Fred Escobar, Mike Escobar, Lupe Martinez, Pablo Martinez, Jeff Dumlao and the rest of the family. Grandma Juanita was an amazing, beautiful woman. She taught each of us the meaning of family and continued to do so through her final days. Let her strength and kind heartedness live on in all of us.
God Bless you all.

Grandma Nita,
You will forever hold a piece of my heart. I am who I am, in part, because of you. You were always there for me and my family and I will forever be grateful. I know that the memories we share will get me through until we meet again. So go in peace Grandma...now you can rest and say that your job is done. I love you with all of my heart and will miss you dearly.
Your Grandson,
Brandon
