Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
I am so sorry for this great loss in your family’s life. She lived a good long life surrounded by so much love. I’m so glad we had a chance to visit with her during our last trip. The memory of her twinkling eyes and big smile have been with me since that visit. I pray that you are all comforted by the many memories you shared with her and by the knowledge that she will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. May Tia Evelia rest in eternal peace! I know she is smiling upon us from her heavenly home. Our deepest condolences are with you.

Que Dios les de consuelo y resignación . Los queremos mucho. Sus primos, Victor,Bertha y familia
No perdimos a nadie, TÃa Evelia simplemente se nos adelantó,lo mejor de Ella el “ AMOR “ sigue en nuestros corazones. Todos los momentos que disfrutamos con ella permanecerán en nuestros corazones por siempre por ese gran AMOR que compartió con nosotros. Primas saben que hoy y siempre cuentan con nosotros, Dios nos ha mantenido unidas por el gran amor que nuestros padres nos dieron, sigamos de generación en generación transmitiendo ese Amor y mantengámonos unidas siempre. Las quiero mucho, Dios las llene de bendiciones.
We will always remember Hermana Evelia her kind words will always be in our hearts. We need to rejoice and be glad that she is in a better place now with Hermano Rafael. She will be missed but someday we will be reuinted again.
