Padilla Kids,
So sorry of hearing of Aunt Viola’s death. She was a wonderful women and sheloved her family with all her heart. I still remember when my Mom, Dad and myself would go visit on Sunday and your Mom and Dad doing this same at my house. Even though Aunt Viola was my cousin, I always called her Aunt and your Dad, Uncle Eddie from way back then. Take some time to celebrate her life as you know she is being cared for by Your Dad, her boys and God.
To Paul & Family;
We’re very sorry to hear of passing of your beloved mother and so much more. Our hearts go out to you and your family during this difficult time.
As we know there’s nothing like losing a mother. Have peace knowing
she’s resting in heaven and no more pain. Somehow we have to rely on
our fond memories to help us move forward. Although our loved ones are
gone from our sides they’re always with us in our hearts. That never goes
away. We’re sorry we can’t be there for you and Val, but please know you’re
in our thoughts and prayers. May God grant you peace during this time.
“When someone you love becomes a memory,
the memory becomes a treasure”
Love,
The Alfonso’s

I am so sorry for your loss, Louise. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Louise and family. I never had the honor nor privilege to have met your mother. From the beautifully written post from Maria I missed out meeting a truly wonderful person.
My sympathy, love and prayers are with you always. This is a very hard time, loss is not easy, you will all miss her terribly but know she is with Our sweet Jesus and is surrounded by all who preceded her, she is at peace.
Love Always,
Susan Debski (your Michigan friend)
