Chayo will be missed by all the people who knew and loved her. We enjoyed her smile, her laughter, and her love in our family for 60+years. How do you say goodbye so suddenly to someone who has just always been there? It is hard to believe but we know she is in God’s loving hands, enjoying her reward in heaven along with her son Steve and all the people she knew and loved in her lifetime who have since passed.
Chayo,
We miss you and love you so much. Thank you for always greeting us with a smile filled with love and joy.
Our memories of you will live in us forever. May you Rest In Peace, Chayo. Until we meet again.
My condolences and prayers to your family.
