Aunti Ruth, I am remembering the good times we enjoyed over lunch at my home when my sister Marie was in town. It was Conchita, her girls, commadre Paula, and the rest of my family having great fun enjoying your singing, looking at photos, and just having a great time. Then there was Christmas Eve at your home for many years. What fun we had trying to sing along with your guitar playing of the Christmas carols. Thank you for gathering us to enjoy these great and special moments. Thank you again for the many great memories in our hearts which will be long remembered. Thinking of you, as I am already missing you. Love Vase (2/25/2014 - 9:12 p.m.)

Andrew, Ruben, Johnny and Claudia and families, we are so sorry for the loss of your mom, she was very special to us. We loved going to church with her and Uncle J and going to Denny's afterward, it was enjoyable listening to all the many great stories they had to tell. We loved going through Decoto on the way home. It was so nice when they came to our parties and Auntie Ruth would sing (I loved her singing). We have a lot of good memories with her that we will keep close in our hearts, thank you for sharing her with us. -Jeff, Susie, Jennifer, Katie, Jeffrey, Lauren and Matthew Orozco
