Dear Angie & Madelyn, I am very sorry for your loss but I csn tell you that your Mom/Grandma is no longer suffeeing and is at peace. Although her physical presence will be greatly missed, I'm positive that she left you with memories that will forever be cherished and appreciated. She was BEAUTIFUL, strong, loving, hard working, giving and tremendously protective of you two. I for one am so very THANKFUL that she was brought into this world! If not for her, I would have never met my very first best friend of over 42 years! Thank you, Mrs. Chavez for always opening your home to me as a youngster and fir all tge snacks, AMAZING dinners and for the cigarettes we "borrowed" from you. You raised a BEAUTIFUL daughter and Granddaughter and I know thst your heart was full of nothing but love for them. May you always continue to send them little signs in the dun, while they're sleep4, driving, just doing everyday events. You will be greatly missed but the legacy you have left will carry on strong as you intended it to. Rest in paradise Mrs. Chsvez. I love you!
