Tributes
Leave a tributeI remember one time Bridget and I took her to Broadway to the market and we were parked on the right side and she came out and walked right past us at first we thought she was going to another store, but she crossed the street and walked up to a black car like ours and opened the back door and sat down, there were 2 women in the front and Gigi sat there for like a minute and the women turned around and she finally realized she was in the wrong car. Bridget and I were laughing so hard and she got out and we beeped the horn, she got in our car and was so embarrassed and yelled at us for not telling her. But we were laughing so hard that we could barely move, needless to say she never made that mistake again. We all sit and talk about the funny things she did. I loved her and she is deeply missed.
I can't believe it has already been a year since you left us, I know that you would have stayed forever if you could, I know that you were ready to go and you were in pain, and you are the strongest woman I have ever known and I am not saying that just because you are my mother but because it's true. You taught your daughters and granddaughter's the meaning of strength, if anyone ever questioned whether a woman could do both a
mother's and a father's job you proved that you could, even when you had nothing you managed to give Michele and i everything, and when your granddaughter's came along you taught them as well and you are a significant part of why they turned out so awesome, you were so proud of them and they knew it, they loved you like no other and you loved them like no other, and you accepted Jose and treated him as the son you never had. You meant the world to me, no you were my world, and the world does feel a little empty now that you are gone and I will miss you and think of you everyday of my life, but I know you were ready and I wouldn't take back anything that has happened because I know how much you were suffering. But when I think of you now we like to think of the good times, the goofy things you did like always grabbing the girl's butts and saying DIT, then when you got your cane you starting using that to continue doing it, even though I have lost of part me when you left, I know you would want us to go on and show you how awesome of a job you did raising us, by watching me raise my daughter's and Michele being strong. Mom you truly were one of a kind and I couldn't imagine anyone else being so strong, so hard working and so accepting of me having Raquel at 18, but I know that my girl's were your everything and I know no one else could be a better grandmother than you. I know no one could be the mother that you were. I never left your side when I was younger and never wanted to, you even took care of kids that weren't yours but you treated them like they were, you cared for Helen (Niki) and especially little Ronnie he is more of a brother figure than a cousin. You would help anyone you could. You were such a huge influence and a big part of everyone's lives that no one could say anything but the best about you. Just know that everyday we think of you and will always remember the good times and the funny and crazy times you showed us. You taught all of us how to be strong independent woman and fro that and everything you have accomplished in your life, you will forever be in our hearts and in our minds.
I LOVE YOU MOM AND MISS YOU EVERYDAY! I hope you enjoying bingo with grandma and I am sure grandma and pop pop are are keeping you busy. Until I see you again, just know you are the most important woman in this world!

The strongest woman
Mom you are the strongest woman I have ever known, you did everything for everyone else except yourself, you showed all 5 of us girl's what true love is, and taught us that we can do anything. You never had a bad word to and all you ever wanted was for your family to get along. You are the true meaning of selflessness, we miss you more than words can describe, there is no word to describe what an incredible person you were. You loved your daughter's and taught us strength and stability and compassion and if I could be even half the mother you were to Michele and I than I am a success, because no one could ever compare to you. The world lost so much when you passed and I didn't know how to live without you, but you were such an amazing grandmother that your granddaughters told me that you would not want us to sit and cry, but instead celebrate who you were. Your legacy lives on through me, Michele, Raquel, Alexis and Kylie and you were such an amazing influence on girls that I couldn't have been luckier than to have you as my role model. Your granddaughters are amazing young women and you helped instill that in them. I wish everyone could have a chance to have a mother like you so everyone could see how much you loved us. You left a part of you in each of us when you passed, I can only hope that we can make you proud and continue your legacy because everyone deserves to have a mother like you. I know you are playing bingo with grandma and feeding Felix Cheetos, waiting for Abby to join you. Until we meet again you are in my heart, mind and soul. You were truly unique and I am so blessed to have been able to call you my mother! I love and miss you deeply!
