To my wonderful Brothers Dan and Jim,
I don't even know where to begin. I am so sorry that your loving Mom
was taken from all of you so suddenly. For years it was just our close
circle for every milestone in our lives. Always together for every
holiday, party and birthday. Since we were kids we have developed a
bond that will never be broken, one family blended together. We have
so many awesome memories to think back on, they will be always be
close to my heart. I am so very proud of both of you, she raised you
to be fine young men and have had many accomplishments. She lived
everyday for all of you.
We all know she was the hardest worker ever and she never slowed down,
as many times as we told her to, she was so stubborn to listen to any
of us. She worked so hard to make sure both of you were always taken
care of and always put herself last.
As we got older your Mom always made sure we were all together as much
as possible, especially after my parents moved. There have been
weddings,baby showers, births and birthdays, laughing, crying and
there was always that common thread your mom. I am so glad that you
have picked such awesome women to share your lives with, Maggie
and Angela I love you both of you very much and I am proud to think of you as
my sister in laws. To my beautiful nieces Maddie and Mia, she loved
both of you soooo much and she was so happy and excited to be a
grandma. I'm thankful she was able to have the both of them for a
year and just love and spoil them.
The memories I have will last forever, especially the funny things
that happened over the years. Grandma's house coloring eggs LOL, your
Mom and my Dad talking back to each other about how much food was on
the table, and countless other random crazy, funny thing that happened
over the last 20 + years. That is what is helping me through.
I know that she has helped shape me in ways to become the person I am
today. Same way she did with the both of you. That never ends
because her ethics and advice live on through all of us in the future.
We didn't always agree with her because she spoke the truth, and she
was blunt and to the point, in hindsight I know why she taught us the
way she did, because she loved us.
I loved her very much and will never forget her. I am here for you
always, just a phone call or text away. I will help all of you remind
Maddie and Mia over the years of how wonderful their Grandma was and
what a wonderful Mom she was to their fathers. I feel so blessed that
all of you have been in my life and I am so happy she had time with
Cristian and he knew her. She was an amazing, wonderful, spectacular
person.
I love you guys very much,
Love,
Felisa
