  Connie was my sister, no, she is my sister and will always be my sister. She was the baby of our family ~ Joe, our brother, was the eldest, then me, Manuel, then Helen and finally Connie arrived. Now, as my two sisters and my brother have gone to Heaven, I am the only original living member of our family. We grew up during difficult times in the early years and having worked hard many years, the Golden Years became the best. Losing my last sibling is very hard to bear and seeing her suffer for five months was so difficult. At last she is resting peacefully with the rest of our family and her suffering is over. She was so loved by all and my wife, Dottie and I will miss her so much. She was adored by her husband Ralph and her daughter Leonore who were by Connie's side every day suffering along with her. All of her grandchildren were her reason for living and loving.

  I remember as a child visiting at my aunt's house for the holidays. I loved her homemade tamales. She made the best tamales and turkey stuffing. To this day...no one makes better stuffing than hers. Although opinionated and stubborn she would listen to others. I remember having a friend that did not have a place to go for the holidays. Without hesitation Tia Connie said to invite my friend over to her house for the holidays. She had a BIG heart. Since my own mother's death she gave me encouragement through the years. She always made me feel like I could do anything I set my mind to. I loved hearing her stories of her and my mother when they were children. Now she is among our other fallen family members. She, like them, will always live in my memories. My love for her will never wane.

  My earliest memory of Consuelo was her making me eat all the old stale tortillas that Mamma stacked at the bottom....a rite of passage from an older "sibling" to the younger obnoxious one. Years later Connie and I would laugh about it. She was the fierce and feisty teenager always ready for an adventure and dancing. Tia and Ralph danced so beautifully together; two pieces of the same part and so smooth. I'll always remember her dancing and laughing. She evolved into a fiercely protective mother devoted to her children and grandchildren and steadfast loyal friend to my own mother. She never wavered. I will miss you Tia, the last matriarch of my family. Toniya Villalobos

  My grandmother had the most sweetest warm heart. I'm going to truly miss her. She helped me become the person I am now. She and my grandfather raised me to be all I can be. I owe her every thing i have accomplished. I'm going to miss her so much. No words can describe how much of a wonderful person you were. I love you grandma. You will always be in my heart.

  For 50 years I thought of her as my favorite aunt. She showed me love and encouragement over the years. She will always hold a special place in my heart. May you rest in peace Tia Connie. I love you.

  Aunt Connie was such a sweet person. I remember sleeping over when I was little she would always have something fun for us to do. I loved going to her house just so I could play in the little pond in the backyard. I remember her always giving hugs and calling us sweat hearts when she saw us. She seemed so happy all the time. Im so glad I got to see her one last time before she passed she was so happy to see me and Aunt Doreen she cried and held our hands real tight. She loved her family dearly. I will cherish the memories I got to spend with my aunt she will be missed by many. My condolences to my Uncle Ralph and cousin Leanor. She is your gaurdian Angel now

  Connie had a big heart , a great sense of humor, fierce loyalty,alway's cheerful and up beat. Every Holiday for all my years here I will think of her, she alway's called to say Happy Veteran's Day, Happy 4th of July etc. I will miss those call's I only regret we didn't take the time to spend more time together. I'm glad I got to say goodbye to her we'll see you on the other side. Love you Celsa

  Connie was more than a mother-in-law to me.....she was like my second mom ! She always made me feel loved, appreciated and one of the family. Other people would always complain about their mother in laws and I would always be proud to say "I have the Best Mother-in-law in the world ! " which is how I have always felt and always will. We all miss her so very much ! She would want us to be strong, happy and stay close as a family and take care of each other. I know she is watching over us.......lets make her proud. We love you and our memories will live on forever until we meet again.may you rest in peace
