    No-one made tamales or told a joke like you.
    The world is not as bright without you.
    I love you and I will miss our long talks and your warm hugs.

  2. Ellen Bryson says

    From the first moment I met her, and always since, I loved her beautiful smile. Even when she was not feeling that well, she always smiled and made your heart glad.
    I am Noe’s mother-in-law and I quickly learned how much Noe loves her. He often told us clever jokes or comments she responded with in conversation, using that special smile and chuckle he always had when he talked about her.
    She was so talented, quick-witted, and caring, her grandchildren loved to be with her. Everyone responded to her love.
    She will be missed every day and remembered with great love and gratitude by all of us.

    I lost touch with Amelia after she moved away from Olive Avenue. She looked after my children when they were quite young and they are now in their 40s. I remember her to be a very gentle, sweet lady who loved her family. I always loved going to her house to pick up my children because she would make delicious tortillas for us. May she rest in peace and may her family be comforted knowing what a precious lady she was.
