Chavito was an inspiration for me. I had to keep on hoping for a new way of getting ahead in my life. I did go to college and I made it. I thanked her for our conversations we had together it gave me hope and I am very serious about my faith in the Lord and Hope and pray everyone took the time in their busy lives to call Aunt Chavo and ask for her advice. She was great, sympathetic and wise on what I heard from her. She left a lasting mark on my life. I hope and pray you think of her often to remember her in your prayers.
Thank you Jeffrey for posting our party pictures together. Always appreciated her honesty in life matters even though we didn’t know each other that well. Do know she will be missed, especially on Tuesdays with those special calls to her daughter. Rest in peace with those you loved.
Happy Times with Grandma.
