  2. There were only a few times we saw each other, although, many stories you shared with me. Thank you for making me feel a part of the family.

    You will always be remembered with much love, as the loving, cheerful, and eager to fight person you were.

    Fueron pocas las veces que nos vimos, pero muchas las historias que compartiste conmigo. Gracias por hacerme sentir parte de la familia.

    Siempre serás recordada con mucho cariño, cómo la amorosa, alegre y la guerrera que fuiste.

  10. It is always sad to let go of a dear friend. But we will treasure all the memories we have made for over 40 years. I’ll never forget our trip to Mexico and other trips we took. Any time we hear Mariachi music we will be thinking of you singing along. And all the parties we shared where you took it upon yourself to make sure everyone was being taken are of. You were a very, very special friend. You will be missed. May you Rest In Peace. Love you
    Linda and Rene Duarte
