My mother-in-law
Cruz's Mom and mother to 9 other children
Grandmother to 28
And Great Grandmother to many!
She passed today, to a better place
No more pain or dealing with Cancer
She was 75 years old
I have to tell you what kind of woman, mother, mother-in-law she was
She was STRONG (raising 9 children as a single parent)
Opinionated (Oh boy was she, but that's what we loved about her)
Adventurous
Witty
Smart
Faithful
Loving
Kind
Happy
The best COOK ever
Hard working
Living Life to it's Fullest
But above all, she loved God with all her heart!!
