I want to give thanks to Frankie, Hilda, and especially Norma(Daughter In Law), for taking good care of their mother at her last moments. I will always remember my sister and I loved her very much. The last time I spoke with her, she gave me a beautiful smile and kissed me on the cheek. Later on before her death, I spoke to her on the cell phone and was able to say good-bye and I told her how much I loved her. This I will never Forget. May God Bless You All Love, Ernestina Salinas

May God be with you and your family during this difficult time. I loved your mom. She was full of kindness and had a wonderful smile. What was most impressive to me was her commitment to her family and the man she loved and married. Who would think that the caretaker should go before the care for. God alone knows the roads we must take. Again, it was a priviledge for me to be there with your family during her las moments.
