Leida such a sweet person, whenever we see each other we always stop and talk. She would always ask for my family. Leida was sweet and living. She is a beautiful Angel.

Leida Luz you will be missed but never forgotten! You are one beautiful, strong woman who loves passionately and unconditionally. Your love for your children, grand and great grandchildren, mom, siblings and friends is like no other. You made strangers feel like family almost instantly. Your love for children was incomparable. You filled a room with your smile and your big than life personality. You will truly be missed. We love you precious sister and we know that we will see you again and spend eternity with you. Yours and our faith and trust in Jesus for our salvation assures us of this. Until then...Rest in Peace...

Dear Grandma, you always cared for the people you loved, you always stood for what you believed in, and spoke your truth. Such a strong soul with many stories up her sleeve. I will miss those stories and I hope to carry on what youve taught me throughout my life. I will miss the laughs and small talks we had when I was growing up. There was never a dull moment with you Grandma. May God be with you while you Rest In Peace, I love you.

Tia Leyda was a loving mother and grandmother . I always loved to see all the pictures of her enjoying life and her kids. When we got to see each other we loved to reminisce about the old days with my Tio Mario . I loved her honesty and telling it like it is, for others it may have been too much but I loved it. She had a beautiful smile and I hope she knows how much we will all miss her XO. And I hate that we never had lunch like the many times we said we would. Life is too short . Rest In Peace .

Grandma Leida. It doesnt even feel real that youre not here anymore. I will miss our coffee dates, your laugh, and your unapologetic sassiness. So many amazing childhood memories of us run through my head, as well as our great conversations. There was never a dull moment. I know you will watch over the family. I will miss you, beautiful! Rest In Peace, Grandma.

My mother-in-law was someone who loved her family, would sincerely give her honest opinion, always willing to extend a hand to whom ever needed it, and stood up for her family. She was a strong and independent woman, who was firm but yet compassionate. She always put others in front of her. She was caring, thoughtful, and prayed for each of us every night. I thank you for always being there for me. I will miss our small talks (chismes). May you Rest In Peace. Love you Leyda.

My grandma my gorda, I love you and still cant believe your gone. Even though you are I know you are looking over all of us. The memories I have will never be forgotten . Gorda you were my everything , you always made sure we were happy and no matter what mom said you would always give us our way. You were always there for us and always wanted us to be happy no matter what you would make sure we had everything we needed. It would make your day just to go do groceries , to get out the house. I love to the moon and back and noone can ever take that from me. I love you my Gorda may you R.I.P , the lord has gained a beautiful angel that will never be forgotten

A mother's greatest legacy is her children. Although we never met Leida we heard wonderful things about her through her daughter Jackie. Jackie has shown such love and kindness to our grandchildren. So know, Leida, your love and compassion lives on through your beautiful children. Rest in peace. God bless you and your family.
