Thursday, December 30, 2010 my Abuelita passed away. My mom called Thursday morning to let me know that her mother had passed away, but unfortunately I was at work, so Jon was the one who gave me the sad news. I was able to talk to my mom while she and my dad were on their way to Logan and she said that she was doing okay. My mom has been so strong through all of this and I'm sure it hasn't been easy on her. I am going to miss my grandmother, even though I haven't been able to see her very often since we moved from Utah, but she was a wonderful lady. She lived with us when my brother was born and because of her, I learned to speak Spanish. She was always so giving and loving to me. She was friendly and loved people. She loved to crochet and she made beautiful baby afghans and baby booties. She made Sophie a baby afghan and booties and we will cherish them forever. We were fortunate enough to visit her this past summer and she got to hold Sophie. In October when she got very ill, Sophie and I got the chance to go to Utah and I was able to say good-bye to my grandmother at that time. I am so grateful for her and the influence she has had on my life. We love you and miss you! I'm truly grateful for the gospel and the knowledge I have knowing that I will see her again someday. She is now reunited with her husband, whom she has been parted from for 33 years. I love you Abuelita!

I am sorry for your loss. I am so glad you have such great memories to carry you through till you see her again.
What a wonderful lady Abuelita was!! I still laugh when I think about the time that she stayed with us while my parents went out of town and you got to come to so that you could help us understand what she was saying. We were about 5 I think.
