My heart goes out to you, Misha, Dena, & Jerry. Your strength through these heartaches is inspirational to me. Your mom was a positive person and also a very strong woman of great faith. I’m sure she will continue to send you her love and strength. She will be up in heaven keeping Willie, Ricky and your dad busy helping God and the Angels!

To My Tia Vina
It’s not the things that can be bought that are life’s richest treasure,
It’s just the little heart gifts that money cannot measure . . .
A cheerful smile, a friendly word, a sympathetic nod
Are priceless little treasures from the storehouse of our God . . .
They are the things that can’t be bought with silver or with gold,
For thoughtfulness and kindness and love are never sold . . .
You are the reason I know what love is,
you are the reason I have a relationship with God.
You are and always will be a part of who I am.
Rest in Peace now Tia I will see you again.

Misha, Jerry & family, the loss of a mother is so very difficult. You are blessed to have such a strong family that loves and supports each other. All of which starts with a wonderful mother. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you have lost so many special people in your family in the last few months.
Margaret A Fernandez
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I will miss her smile and good humor at our weekly prayer meetings. She was very instrumental during my loss and was very helpful in our meetings. May God have her in his glory.
