    vavo, Your smile would light up the room.. even though I couldn't understand what you were saying most of the time, and needed translation, the little portuguese that I understood was "Liz & Sam aqui! and EAT". You lived an incredible life and will never be forgotten. With all my love, Sam

    What a beautiful lady with a gorgeous smile and a big heart. Although I only had the pleasure of meeting you for some brief moments, your wonderful qualities were clearly evident! Your children are a tribute to the wonderful, caring mother you must have been and the loving example you showed them. I know you will be missed. However, you are in our Creator's wonderful care with the marvelous hope that Jesus spoke about, a resurrection to a beautiful paradise that we await very soon! Revelation 21:3,4,5. With our love, Gloria & Hector Nieves

    She is gone,but not forgotten,her memory lives on.You were a blessing,someone who fulfilled our lives for so long.Now our eyes are filled with sorrow,for without you is how we face tomorrow.Laughter is how I remember you best,full of faith,sunshine,and happiness.Cards,friends,family and cheer,just a few of the things that you held dear. Holidays and birthdays will never be the same,without you there to ask who came.God is smiling down as you watch us from above,now he has our friend our angel,protecting her like a beautiful white dove.Save a card game for me,because I'll be seeing you one day,reunited in heaven,for eternity we will stay. Our good times are now a memory,as you are laid to rest.Know that you are in our hearts,we love you and God Bless.

    To my beloved mother... You were so special in more ways than you know... Mother you were always there for the little things that made all the differences... Mother your unconditional love and affection were always present,through many difficult times and most of all when DAD passed away yet so young... It was no measure to your sacrifice so that your children could have all the necessary things needed and most of all your kindness, that you were able to give to anyone that cross you path... Mother I am so sad that you no longer are part of this physical world,but nothing can take away your beauty... for your love remains a part of me forever in my life by just remembering a kind word or your beautiful smile... For always, with all my love Teresinha
