I will always remember her beautiful smile and her tender nature. When she come to Fresno she always greeted us with a kiss on the cheek. She will be dearly missed.

I have so many great memories of times spent with all of you. Going to San Jose was the most exciting thing we did growing up and Aunt Lichis always treated me like one of her own. I loved both your folks very much as they exhibited so much love and joy. I look forward to our reunion with the Lord and all our loved ones. Love you all.

I know that you are aware of his much I loved talking and visiting with your Mom. As a child I loved her hugs and kisses and enjoyed the short times we had together. As a college student I looked forward to seeing her and your Dad and getting a chance to see how all of you were doing. The times she came with Tia Abbie were days i will not forget as she ineracted with my children We were blessed to have her as our Tia and I will miss her beautiful smile and elegance. Love you all! So sorry I could not attend. I am still ill but I did talk to Dad about the day. Froy
