I love you forever Cuca. Thank you for always being there for me, and our entire family. You were always so much fun and the life of the party, but you were also someone I could always talk to, and always showed me love and support, unconditionally. From getting a Pikachu-themed N64, and cup o’ noodles as kids, to blasting the 80s New Wave Party CD as teenagers, to fun trips to the wineries, sushi, and San Diego as adults — we made so many good memories for so, so many years. I will cherish these memories and the love you showed me for the rest of my life. I miss you so much already. But I know that you live on in each of us, and in the love that you showed us all, for our entire lives. I’ll always remember our song:

I love you, always forever
near or far, closer together
everywhere, I will be with you.

With deep love,
Laluz (Andrew)

Aunt Monica,
It breaks my heart that I can’t call you or text you to see how you’re doing, but it gives me some peace knowing that you are no longer in pain and that you are our angel watching over us now. I will always cherish the special moments that we shared together. I will always consider you my first “roommate” when we lived with you and I slept in your room with you as a little girl. I will always look back at the dance parties we had in the Pico Rivera house and at the Murrieta house, dancing to 80’s music. I hope you know that I will always carry on with your memory.
I love you always,
-your “roomie” Lisette

Chinis I miss you so much, what gives me comfort is remembering God’s promise, knowing where you’re going and that you are no longer in pain.💖Love you always 😘

I’ll always remember you dancing as we did in our youth. You were my bridesmaid. we had many laughs through our reunions. I enjoyed reading the Word with you and Praising our Lord even through the trials. Keep on dancing until we meet again….

James 1:2-3 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”

We are so devastated to lose you, but we are so relieved that you are finally at peace with grandma and grandpa — and your beloved Toby. Until we meet again. 💖

Moni, I miss you so very much. I’m blessed to call you my sister. You mean even more than that. You have a heart of gold and always looking out for me and your nieces. Always laughing with me about jokes that only you can deliver right. When we laughed so hard and couldn’t stop laughing. The love you have for our entire family can never be replaced.

I will forever Love you
