Theres so many times that I've needed you since you've been gone. There was no one like you. My heart still carries a heavy burden of the day you left to a better place. I miss you so much. I hope to see you in my dreams soon.
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. "God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best." To your family and friends, may the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.
I miss you so much mom. You've taught me so much and I'm so very grateful for every single second we've spent together. I love you and I'll never forget you. Your always in my heart.
My memories while growing up with my big sister. I remember when I was about 6 years old, I began really loving to put on rings. One time I found what LOOKED like a ring (just because it was round) and I put it on. It was some rubbery thing that came from somewhere. Well, my little finger began getting purple. NOT a good thing! I was scared off my wits that mami would find out and give me a good whipping. Calmy and gently my sister Norma took me to the restroom, put some soap around my now fat, purple finger and gently removed the rubber "ring". What a life saver. She's been that way ever since. Gently and calmly guiding you through your most troubling times. She always made you feel VERY loved. Always the big sister, I remember when I was younger (single, no kids at that time) and I'd go visit her in Houston, she always had a little gift for me (and money) before I went back to San Antonio. Always letting me know she cared and thought of me. Making sure I was taken care of.I miss her dearly, but I know the pain is gone and she is at rest, at peace. I love you manita. Con todo mi corazon!!!!
My Tia Norma was the strongest woman I have ever known. She would always know what to say and when to say it. Everything about her was pure beauty. You could always see the love and compassion in her eyes. When she cared she genuinely cared, when she asked how you we're doing, she really did want to know and listened. She was always concerned with all of her family. She had a big heart and a beautiful kindness about her. She would always tell me to pray when I would tell her my concerns and pointless problems and say what's the point? I promised you I would pray Tia and I am. I hope I can live and be as strong as you were. You make everyone want to be a better person. Through your eyes, no one could do wrong. I love you and we miss you very much. You were our Angel and you aren't suffering anymore. God took you because we didn't deserve you, that's why he took you away from us too early. I love you. Your kiti.
What can I say about my sister that everybody that knew her don't already know. She was a wonderful mother, sister, daughter, friend and grandmother, she had a heart of gold was the most forgiving person I've ever known. My sister was the kind of person that would tell you when you were wrong and what you did wrong and we still respected her for that, then she would give advice even when we did't want to hear it, we always followed her advice as she was always right. I will always miss her and will never forget the times we went shopping for christmas gifts for the kids, than afterwards we would go to a mexican restaurant drink margaritas and talk about our kids how they were being bad. We would also talked about making plans for the New Year. I will miss my sister so much this Christmas. It will be the saddest holiday ever, but what makes me so happy is that she is in a better place being so peaceful and looking down at us and smiling. Thank you Norma for being the kind of sister that I always wished for. I will always remember you for that.
Norma has always been such a beautiful woman. Even in her latest days, her smile was always warm and comforting. I will remember her laughing, dancing and being the life of the party always. She did her best to make it to family functions and bless us with her presence. Even when we were told she wouldn't be there, she slowly but surely would walk through the door. Her strength and devotion to her family was unbelievable. She loved to see everyone gather together as we loved to be around her too. Eric and I were very surprised when she showed up at our wedding! She had been released from the hospital that morning! But then again she assured us she wouldn't miss our special day for anything in the world!! She was amazingly strong and unstoppable! Norma is defenitely and inspiration, an example of how we should live our lives. Always strong, full of life, full of love and happiness, carefree. That is how I will remember Norma. Dancing to the music and singing to the songs. The party was always going on in her heart!! I am very blessed to have had her in my life and the impact she has had over me is overwhelming. She will be missed profoundly but it is comforting to know that the fight is over and she has won. She sits at the feet of our Father where we all wish to be one day. Thank you Norma for all that you have given.
