I love you Mom you will always be in my heart.

My sincerest condolences to your family. You have lost a wonderful person. Please be comforted that she is at peace and remember all the good times throughout the years. I will personally miss her cooking and her strict discipline when I got out of hand. She was a second mother to me as a child. I will never forget her.
I am so sorry Angel. She was a good mom, but she is in a much better place now.
We will miss you, mommy. Love you now and always
There are so few comforting words when we need them most. The passing of the one who first introduced us to this planet and who loved us along its paths is never easy. My heartfelt condolences to your family.
My momma, thank you for being a great example of a strong, loving woman that always put family first.
I’ll miss FaceTiming with you and hearing you say “I love you too my dear”. You fought a good fight and now you’re with Jesus, no more pain, no more tears.
I will love you forever!…
Angel – your Mom sounds like a wonderful and brave lady….. I am so sorry for your loss…
Richard and I are here for you if you need anything.

In search of my family history I found this information. I heard her name but never met her. I am sorry for your loss. My father was Orsino Negron, her uncle.
Thank you very much Ivette. It’s interesting that my Mother’s information came up in your searches. My mom would have been intrigued by your search. I think I may have heard my Mother talk about your Father. Thank you for reaching out to us to offer your condolences. If we can help you in your linage research, let us know. My name is also a dot com, where you can email. Thanks again. <3
