Nana, we all miss and love you very much! Thanks for watching us grandkids when we were young. I will always be grateful for that and for the weekends we spent with each during the last few years, especially when you showed me and Mandy how to make tamales and tortillas. I will keep those conversations and memories for ever. I will always remember the kisses you gave baby Lydia and the way she made you smile even till the final days and when you thanked me for giving her the name she has. Like I said the last time I talked to you, I'll see you later and we all love you!

1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus has died and risen again, so also will God bring back with Jesus those who sleep in him.

"Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight... Must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light. But we know that like a candle their lovely light will surely shine to brighten up another place more perfect... more divine. And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm and bright. Our loved ones live forevermore in God's eternal light."

She is a wonderful, beautiful grandmother. I will miss her deeply. Love her granddaugher Jaimie in Guam.

Every time I picture my tia Lydia, I see her smiling face. She seldom lost that smile so the picture you selected is perfect! She now rests in heaven with your dad, our nana and tata, and the rest of our dearly departed family. She had a wonderful life, i'm just sorry it had to end here on earth, but she lives on in heaven and we will all see her again one day. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. We will all miss her deeply.
