Our mom loved all her children and grandchildren.  She said we were her best friends.  Our mom was kind and giving and if you were hungry she would feed anyone.  Our mom was known for her big and delicious tortillas.  Our mom helped raise our kids.  She babysat them and walked them to school.  Our mom loved to shop and go to the swap meet.

Mom always had a smile on her face.  She made everyone laugh and loved to dance.  She will be truly missed by all.  WE LOVE YOU MOM!
