I didn’t know your mom but Diana and Melissa, you both are a beautiful reflection of her! May she RIP!
Mr. Flores, Dianita, Melissa & Jorge,
I am deeply saddened to hear of your mother’s passing. Your family and the memories we share are so dear to our hearts and many of those memories involve her. I remember the times she and my mom were forced to have coffee as we performed our latest dance for them. She would sit and play Jax with us, I remember many shopping trips and most memorable are the moments with my mom. She was so dear to her.
Mr. Flores, your love for her shows in every picture. I know that meant everything to her.
I cry as I can hear your mother’s laugh like it was yesterday. I am sure she is now rejoicing in laughter with the Lord in heaven and is whole again.
We love all of you and are praying for you.
Sincerely,
Michelle
Our sincerest condolences to the whole family. Heaven now has a beautiful angel…

My most sincere condolences to the family. May you all find comfort and peace in our Lord Jesus Christ. Mr. Flores May our Lord Jesus Christ continue blessing you and your loving family abundantly with health, and peace and comfort. In Jesus name we all pray amen. May Diana rest in peace.
Dearest Jorge, and beautiful family,
My family and I are sending you our most heartfelt sorrow for the passing of this amazing woman, Diana.
We met in high school, even though she was younger, students couldn’t help noticing the beauty in these twins. Diana spoke with her tender eyes. There wasn’t a person who didn’t receive her kindness and expression of true friendship.
She was loved by all who met her and will always
have a special place in our hearts.
Prayers for all the family.
Irma
