She was always surrounded by people, those who she brought joy to with her great sense of humour, and those in need who she loved to help.
Her door was always open for a visiting friend or if anyone needed a short-term (or long-term) place to stay. When her sister Estela became blind, she did not hesitate to bring her into her home and made her and her two toddler children part of her family, loving them as much as she did her own children. They lived with her until the two children, Javier and Gilberto, became adults.
Her sparkling clean home was always with the smell of fresh flowers and good food and always with the sound of laughter. Her children considered it a wonderful home.
She never felt beautiful, however she was complimented all her life.
Calm, patience, goodness and a sense of justice were among the virtues she upheld. She could give what she had without thinking twice and never expected to be thanked. But people would never forget her and she was loved and appreciated for all she did. She was a great woman with a big heart.
She never talked much about religion, however she venerated God and faithfully prayed everyday. She was devoted to the Virgin of Guadalupe and Saint Joseph.
In her last years, she loved to do crosswords (in French!), to go out to eat, to people-watch, to make people laugh, and to love.
