cousin Doopie , there are no words to describe what it felt like when i heard of your passing , i remember the last time Elder Jones , the kids and i came to visit you , we had such a great time laughing and talking about church , Elder Jones prayed for you and you did not want us to leave. I will hold onto the memories and your beautiful smile , rather than the end part of your life , I Love you from my Heart , and tell everyone in Heaven we miss them .

Dear Brown Family, I can’t begin to express the deep hole in my heart for the loss of your Sister, mother, grandma, cousin, and aunt. She was my sister, my friend, my advisor, my mom, the one who left this world with all my secrets. She was and is the BEST friend anyone could ask for. I am going to miss her company and her MOST BEAUTIFUL SMILE!! I know she was tired. God has her in His care right now. This time is very difficult, but she is now in a better place and at rest. We can rest assured that someday we will meet with her, again. God Bless All of You and give you peace and strenght!!!! With all my Love, Rhoda R. Martinez.
