Grandma was a beautiful woman who wore her heart on her sleeve. She was strong and loving. She could build you up with her love and was always eager to show you the right way on living. She was passionate about her God and she loved her family very much. I remember as a kid going to her and pepa’s house during some holidays and it was magical. So much good food, my stern but loving pepa was always there to show me how to do something and men’s was always there to listen to me. I was the outcast of the bunch you could say and I always got in trouble lol. She always showed me I’m not trouble at all. We’re All gonna miss you MEMA. You made a beautiful family with pepa and I’m blessed to have had you in my life. I will always remember your heart and how it could save the world if you wanted It to.
