DeLaRosa Jr., Michael Heredia Jr., Sean Heredia, Derek and Ryan Valencia and

We will always remember how wonderful her kitchen smelled and how good her 
food taste. She loved to crochet and garden. She helped raise a few of her 
grandchildren and great grandchildren and this we will always treasure. She 
loved her mother and father and brothers and sisters. We will miss all the 
stories she used to tell us about when she was young. Thank you to the endless 
visitors who came to the hospital, we are truly blessed and grateful. She knew 
you came. "We will miss you always, but know you are with family. Love you 
grandma and Mom." Visitation begins today (Friday) at 12:00 noon at Greenlawn
