Carmen and family, my heart aches at the thought of Cousin Una no longer being with us. She was such a kind, considerate lady. Although we didn't see each other much, we talked on the phone or email. I'm forever grateful for her taking care of the aunts and kept me updated on them and her family. Keeping you all in prayer. RIP Cousin Tuna as my dad called her.

As a young adult I was struck by your beauty and grace. I hadn't seen you and Carmen in years however running into you two on vacation was a treat! I will never forget the best time we had during that cruise! Carmen you and Una were a model couple, reflect on the good times you all shared to help you get through this difficult time. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Cousin Una, thank you for the love that carried us over generations. Rather than say good bye I think I will just carry you around in my heart. Certainly, it will make my heart greater and I will enjoy the company very much. And to the grieving family, my heart is with you. May each passing day bring you closer to peace. Love, Love.

Una Rose Powell, who will always be "Cousin Una" to me, was only eight years older than me. But I always saw her as an aunt that was my cousin. She represented to me intelligence, stability, strength, and wisdom beyond her years. Cousin Una was a fighter and family always came first. I recall when Cousin Una and her wonderful Husband Carmen Powell showed me much love and understanding during my early adult years, giving me a place to live while I sorted out my confused life. I will always be grateful for the love and kindness she showed me each and every time I reached out to her. After I moved to California, she made it a point to make a visit to California to see me. I remember being so overwhelmed by her visit...the thought that she would take time to travel to California to see me meant so much to me. I loved her for believing in me and always being an inspiration to me. Cousin Una was much loved and I will sincerely miss her. If only there was more time. But there never is, is there?

I miss you,
Love Zondra Rodriguez
