"Familia," nothing was more important to her in this world. She showered her children and grandchildren with love in its truest unconditional form. To her children she was, "Ama" and to her grandchildren "Guita," she instilled in all of them the importance of family and nurturing those relationships and supporting one another unconditionally. Her sense of humor and vivacious spirit, were qualities that endeared her to all those she encountered. Her pranks and jokes were harmless, and years later still have people laughing. She could take it just as well as she could give it, allowing her to laugh through her many ailments. This laughter and joy permeated her family. In addition to her humor, her undying faith allowed her to live life to the fullest for the duration of her lifetime.

"Vaya con Dios madrecita linda, Guita." We will carry your light in our hearts until we meet again. We love you.
