My condolences to the Medrano family. May god give you comfort and strength during this difficult time.
Aunt Dora will be remembered with warmth and fondness. While we are deeply saddened by her passing, we will cherish and hold onto the happiest moments we shared with her.
She is at peace and resting.
To my dearest Dora, I will honor your legacy and always remember your love for Elena and I. We had some awesome tines. I remember taking you on vacation with us to Florida and seeing you happy to spend your birthday at Disney World. I will cherish your memories when we went to Las Vegas , Roswell New Mexico to see the Aliens and we would joke around saying that you were from space and your spaceship crash landed in 1947. Those are memories I will always keep in my heart. I love you and you will be missed tremendously. I know God had other plans for you and an angel came to take you by your and said your place in heaven was ready and I bet you saw Mr. Luis Medrano and you new you were home. Your faith in God and the love you shared with us will always be with us. May our Lord’s perpetual light shine upon you..Until we meet again. I love you and miss you, but my heart is filled with love knowing you are with our lord Jesus Christ
My beautiful grandma you haven’t left my mind since you left, I keep thinking of all the funny things you’d do and say!!! I will always hold you close to my heart forever and always…I’m so happy you got to meet Judah I wish there was more time but for now this is it…I love you and miss you grandma.
