    I love you Grandma. Thank you so much for everything you ever did for me. You took me into your home and made sure I was able to graduate with my friends. You loved me unconditionally, bought me books to read in the summers, you celebrated my triumphs and best of all you loved my little baby girl. You’re a wonderful grandmother, a fantastic great-grandmother and I’m just going to miss you so much. I’m going to miss going to Bingo with you and playing Chalupa with the family. I’m going to miss your text messages, your calls, your hugs… I want you to know that I will always speak of you with kind words, fond memories. I will never forget to celebrate your life and to celebrate that you suffer no more. You’re healed. You’re walking the streets of gold. And I will wait patiently for the day when I get to see you again.

    Rest in paradise my angel.
    I love you forever and ever.
    Your Wizzy… ????????️????????❤️

    Going to miss you, especially that little cute dance you used to do and and the text from you wishing me a great birthday every year. You never forgot. It’s not goodbye, but until we see each other again. Give my dad a big hug for me. My condolences to Juan, Bet, Sonny and Jr. Love you guys ! Like George Jones said tia, “She stopped loving him (her gordo) today”, but now go rest high on that mountain, only you could know the pain you felt, Your work on this earth is done. Go to heaven shouting, the love you have for the Father and the Son. You will forever live in our hearts! Now rest Tia, you are free of your pain.
