My mother was the second child of 11 born to Julian and Nicolasa Aguirre. She had six sisters and 4 brothers. She would have five children of her own. My mother was very a loving and caring person. She loved family gatherings. She loved being with her family and grandkids. I was blessed to have such a beautiful woman to be my mother. I know that she suffered through out her life. She lost her first son in 1953, but she carry on because of her four other children. She would suffer many deaths within her family. (father, mother, husband, another son and one daughter) I know this was hard for her, but she would keep her head up high. I know God knew she was tired and decided that it was time for her to be at peace. I know that she's finally surrounded by her family that went before her. I know that my mother is by my side watching over me.The last time that she was in the hospital, I remember telling her that I loved her and her response was "but I loved you first". This I will always carry in my heart.
