You will always be in my heart Mrs. Serna, you are a great woman and great example. Love you always!

To the family,
It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.
