Lourdes


My Lola's gone. After weeks of hospitalization, pain and difficulty, she's finally resting in peace, joining her other half.

She was my last grandparent. Words cannot express how we appreciate her kindness, her warmth, her unpredictable funny outbursts.

Her departure wasn't unexpected. But nothing really prepares you for such loss. We find relief though in the idea that her suffering is over. She lived a meaningful life and her memory will remain in our hearts.

Thank you for being so sweet and thoughtful, and thank you for the fond childhood memories. We will surely miss you, and we love you so much Lola.
