Born and raised in San Antonio, TX, she leaves with us a legacy of love, first for our Lord, then for family and friends. She was a simple soul with a very kind heart. Family meant so much to her. Being outdoors and pondering God's creations gave her so much joy. Listening to music was one of her favorite past times, followed by her lively "Grito"! We thank our Lord for the years He gave her to us. We don't say goodbye, but rather, until we see each other again Mom. Go and rejoice with our Savior in heaven. You are forever in our hearts.
"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself; that where I am, there you may be also." John 14:3
