All my brothers and sister all looked up to her as she was our “older” sister. She will be truly missed. Our hearts are broken. Truly broken. MUCH LOVE to all our nieces and nephews whom we hold so dear. Our deepest condolences. Only know that she is with Kathy right now and all her brothers and mom. She always be our angel.

  6. My condolences to all the family she left behind near and far. My true friend will be missed in years to come. I know we will meet again. She was a loving and caring person and could never meet a stranger. Her eyes were the friendliest and her laugh was one of a kind. She loved her family so much, all of them. Her family was always number one in her life. I know she will be missed by me and so many other souls in the area. She was my Comadre and I respected her for that honor. We shared stories and had our private moments and she gave me good advice which I took to my heart. She is gone, but I (we) will never be forget her. Love Always Comadre Lali
