Our condolences to the family. “Maye’s” loving nature reached far and beyond. Her heart embraced everyone. Maye’s joy was being around her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved to cook and care for her family. Her legacy will continue, but she will be greatly missed.
It will be a challenge facing the days without her, but memories of her will live in our hearts forever.
I love you very much Maye!
Rest easy in Heaven,
Noemi B. Arredondo
My sincerest condolences to Ms. Montes’ family. I had the privileged of recently reacquainting with her and enjoyed what memories she had of my mother and father. May you all find peace in that she is now in Heaven with our Father where she is in his loving arms.
My husband and I are sorry for the pain you are feeling. In the Bible, John 11:17, 33-35—Jesus gave way to tears, even though he knew that he was about to resurrect Lazarus. Jesus’ tears confirmed his love for Lazarus’ family-Mary and Martha. Though at this time, I can’t help but feel that if Jesus was currently on earth, he would have the same tears for your loved one as he did for Lazarus.
