My auntie, ill forever miss you. The sound of your laugh carries on in my heart. The memories I have of you will be kept close. It’s weird not seeing you around anymore but I know your where you want to be being welcomed by your baby boy together at last. Menudo for me now will always hold a special place because it’s the last thing you showed me to cook and something I can share. love you tia and will miss you always and forever. Your favorite niece ( we can tell everyone now) michelle~
They say siblings are from the cradle to the grave, never really understood that till now, at least in the natural world. Being your baby sister you were always like a little mommy to me growing up. We made a lot of cherished memories but the absolute most important and memorable moment with you ever was Mother’s Day May 12, 2019 when my husband, Mario, and I went to visit you at the hospital and we asked if you wanted to accept the Lord Jesus as your Savior and you anxiously prayed the salvation prayer with a completely yielded open heart, knowing that Jesus is the ONLY way into heaven. So now your eternity is secure with Christ and a citizen of the Kingdom of God. Praises to the only true God! My heart rejoices with your graduation into heaven!! See you in eternity. I love you!! John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her “I Am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in ( adheres to, trusts in, and relies on) Me although he may die, yet he shall live; and whoever continues to live and believes in ( has faith in, cleaves to, and relies on) Me shall never (actually) die at all. Do you believe this?” John 14:6 I Am the Way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
