My Mother in Heaven God needed someone giving, strong, positive, loving and energetic. So, he chose you. God takes his greatest creations to sit with him in eternal peace. You were the mother everyone wanted. We were blessed that you were ours. You touched the lives of so many people in a positive way. You showed strength throughout your entire life especially when times where tough. You were so giving. You always gave us everything we asked for and more. Your creativity when it came to giving gifts was one of a kind. You always had some kind of candy or marshmallow in your purse to give out to all the little cousins when they would be around. It was amazing to see all the things you could fit in that purse of yours. You were the cool mom growing up and took in all our friends like if they were one of your own. Getting them all hooked on your flour tortillas. Everyone wanting to be in my group for our field trips when you were our chaperon. You were the awesome tia my cousins loved being around. You brought so much light into peoples lives. As well as in our neighborhood when the holidays came around with so many light's and decorations inside and out. You would out do yourself every year. Holidays will never be the same without you. I love you so much. I will always miss the car rides where you would turn the music up full blast and bust out your moves. Knowing you were not coming back tore us all apart. We knew you would had wanted to say goodbye. But we realized how blessed we are to be apart of this amazing family. Who came to our rescue. You left us all with so many amazing memories of you. We have gained a guardian angel with big beautiful wings roaming the heavens as you watch over us all. Life from this point will never be the same. This feeling of emptiness be refilled with our beloved memories of you forever. Especially the times of your casino trips. Making $100 go a long way on a penny machine. Winning or losing you were always excited. My mother in heaven, how much I miss you. I wished it was all a nightmare and none of it was true. You will forever be with me in mind and spirit. The sound of your voice, I can still hear it. Memories of you that make me smile, if I could only have you back for a little while. God has chosen the best, here I am laying you to rest. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest. Remembering how I truly was blessed. You’re in my heart and in my soul but now apart no hand to hold. I love you dearly, forever and always. Bright blue sky’s or thunder and rain. Can't wait till we meet again.
