~ Dominga (Mother)
A warrior woman.
A great example of strength, dedication, determination, and love.
The heart of our family.
If anyone ever needed anything or any help, she was always there, without hesitation and without complaint. A mother like no other-truly admirable. A lifetime would not be enough to thank her for all that she did. Thank you, Mommy, for your sacrifices.
You are my heroine, a blessing to humanity—extraordinary and one of a kind.
We will miss you more than words can express.
May you rest in the arms of God until we meet again.
~ Olga (Daughter)
Ana was a woman of quiet strength, deep love, and unwavering devotion to her family.
Her presence made people feel safe, seen, and cared for.
She continues to live on through the love she gave and the family she held together.
I will always be proud to say she was my mother, and I will never forget her or all the love she gave us.
~ Dany (Son)
My mother was a hard worker who never hesitated to put her children first. Words could never express the depth of my gratitude or fully thank her for everything she did for our family. Her sacrifices will never be forgotten, nor will the endless, unconditional love she gave so freely. I will forever hold love for her and carry her in my heart.
~ Cinthia (Daughter)
Mommy, thank you for all the love you poured into us and for all the sacrifices you made to make sure we were taken care of. You will continue to live through each and every one of us-your children and grandchildren. We will take care of Grandma as best we can until she’s ready to be with you. Please give Ava all the same love and affection you gave Julissa, and the love I know you would have given Evelina. Give Rocky lots of love for us too. I love you so much, and I will miss you for as long as I live. Until we meet again.
~ Ellie (Daughter)
We are profoundly grateful to have known you and to have called you Mama Betty. You were the best grandmother anyone could ask or hope for. You were always there for us. You shaped our lives through your lessons, your love, and your example. Every day, we strive to become better people knowing you’re watching over us as our guardian angel. We sympathize with those who will never get the chance to grow up knowing you, because you were a brave woman who taught us to approach life with a little less fear. Thank you for everything you’ve done for all of us.We hold you in our hearts dearly and I hope you know how much you were truly loved and appreciated. We will miss our Mama Betty
~ Noelya, Sasha & Sebastian (Grandchildren)
My grandma, Mama Betty, was one of the kindest souls ever. Those who were lucky enough to know her truly understand that. She was a hard worker, a strong woman, and a loving grandma to me. I am heartbroken that I will no longer see her, hear her laugh, or be in her presence. May she rest in peace, and God willing, I will get to see her in our next life. She will always be in my heart.
~ Erika (Granddaughter)
My grandma’s love language was cooking. She showed her love by making sure we were always fed, cared for, and never in need of anything. She was the hardest working person I have ever known. Through her strength, sacrifices, and endless dedication, she carried our family forward and held us together. She gave more than she ever asked for, always going above and beyond for everyone she loved. Her laugh was contagious, the kind that instantly filled a room and made everything feel lighter.
Until we meet again mama Betty.
~ Catherine (Granddaughter)
Ana was a person who helped others without regard to who they were. She always wanted the best for her loved ones. She was a very discreet and trustworthy person— someone you could truly confide in. She taught us to love our neighbor as ourselves. She will live forever in the hearts of all who had the honor of knowing her. Rest in peace, Ana.
~ Francisca (Best Friend)
Betty was a very giving and helpful person. She never looked at who needed help-she simply helped. She was always present in times of need. As a sister and a friend, she was an incredible person.
~ Claudia (Sister)
My beloved cousin,
Thinking that you are no longer with us breaks my heart.
Your spirit and your laughter will remain with us forever.
You were a light in our lives, and everything you meant to us will never fade.
Our sister, our friend, our angel – Betty.
We will always love you and remember you for your kindness, love, dedication, and the care you so freely gave to everyone whose life you touched.
I miss you, my cousin, my sister.
You were truly one of a kind. Love, love, love.
God called you into His presence.
Rest in the peace of God.
I miss you.
~ Reina (Cousin)
