Fond Memories of Our Mother: Junior: "To my mother, who raised me in Puerto Rico, who fed me when I was hungry, who tended to me when I was sick, who loved me very much. I will miss watching her at the garden where she was most happy. You will always be in my heart Mom. I love you and I will miss you terribly. Rest in Peace. Mayra: "Mother! One of a kind - words cannot express her kindness and love that she shared. Her faith and heart is what kept her going strong. Our Mom was like a garden, like roses, always blooming with open arms. Mom you are special and will always be in our hearts. You will be missed. Love Mayra Marisol: " I am who I am because of you, I know I will find my strength through you in days and years to come as only you have shown me. The lessons you taught me, as you've proven by your many sacrifices, will not be forgotten or gone in vain. You will soon rest in your beloved Puerto Rico.
