My beautiful Tía Rebecca. I love you so much. You brought so much joy to me and our family. You have joined our loved ones and you will be one of the shining stars in the sky and I will look up and know you are there in God’s heavenly kingdom.
Thank you for loving my Lino and my kids.
My condolences to my cousins!
Dear Prima Ginny,
Sincere condolences on the loss of your Mom,
my Mami’s cousin. She is now with the rest of
family waiting for her in heaven and now joining
the choir with all her tias, tias, esposo, hijos, y
primos.
Her beautiful picture reminds me so much of my
Aunt Aurora, so it must be the Pena gene.
May you be comforted knowing that you were
there for her when she needed you most.
Tu prima, Judi (hija de Esther)
Very sorry for your loss , Virginia and family . Enrique and Sally
