I love you grandma and I miss you dearly. We had an amazing bond. You were not only my grandma but a friend. Our time together was cut short but I will always be grateful of the times we were able to spend together. See you soon in Heaven.

Mommy I love you with all my heart. The past 7 years have been extremely difficult, but nothing was more difficult than the past week. I will always cherish the memories we had together, remember everything you taught me, and I will continue being the person you wanted me to be. You were an amazing mother, grandmother, and friend. The kids and I will always miss you. You will be in our hearts every single day. May you now rest in peace and dance with the Angels in Heaven.I love you!

Where to begin I just don't know. You where an amazing women who loved us all with all your heart and the bond you created within all of us is what keeps me going during this difficult time. I pray that I can be as strong a women as you where. The memories that we had I will always cherish and I know you are in heaven looking down on us and bragging about each and everyone of us. And most importantly you are dancing with the angels showing them all your moves and of course you are the best dressed. I miss you dearly and you will be in my heart everyday. I will continue to make you proud in all I do. I love you!

I'm sorrry to hear about your mom and grandmother. Revelation 21:4 says that one day death, mourning, & tears will be gone. May your memories, prayer, and the Bible-based hope of the resurrection comfort you at this time. (Acts 24:15) Your family is in our thoughts.

My condolences to the Rivera Family,

During this time of great sorrow, may it comfort you to know that others are deeply touched by your loss. I too know the pain of losing someone dear. Even though our hearts are broken, rest assure that our Grand Creator cares about you personally (1 Peter 5:7) and can help you through this difficult time.
Revelation 21:4 says "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Soon God will do away with death forever, there will be no more sorrow, heartache, or pain. I hope this brings you a measure of comfort during this painful time.
