  1. My condolences to the Cantu family. I pray for the Lord to give you all strength during this painful time. May you take peace knowing your beautiful mother is rejoicing in heaven with our God her sons and beloved family members that went before her. She is pain free and dancing in heaven. I got to know your mother at the Temecula Skilled Nursing facility when your father was there. My mom was there as well. Your mom was always so sweet to my mom and myself. She would offer us cookies with our coffee. Although, my mom had Alzheimer’s. Your mother was very patient with my mom. They talked about Texas and Mexican music. That I would have playing. They talked about the dances they would go to in their younger days. I know they met in heaven. I have no doubt when they saw each other they embraced. Your mother was truly a beautiful sweet lady. God bless you all. Especially your father. I know how much he loved your mother. His eyes would light up and a Big smile on his face when she would walk in the room. They shared a special love. I pray for him I know his heart his broken without his beloved wife. God Bless you . Love Rose Castro-Hualde xoxo
