Tia siempre fueste una mujer muy linda, con un corazon Hermoso. Te quiero mucho a ti, mi Tio, y todos tus hijo/as. Descanse en paz.

I have a lot of beautiful memories when I was a little girl, of all the adventures we had going to her house. My Tia would take us all to the stores with her, took us to the Nursery to visit my Tio at work, and her making us clothes. My Tio would let us camp outside of the house with Nuvia and Tina, and his chihuahuas singing with him. All my cousins taking us on real camping trips, telling us funny stories ( Pepe, Maria, Frank, and Sandra ) Dora inviting us to her cool Halloween Party with candles everywhere. Rosa spoiling us, and Raymond fighting with us. Lol! My Tia always so welcoming, she was a beautiful person who I knew genuinely loved me. She was a great woman, and I know her memory will live on as long as we keep her memory alive.
