To Almazan and Solis families I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Please accept my deepest & heartfelt condolences. We grew up with Betty and fondly remember the good times we shared. During a short visit we had not too long, Betty beamed with so much happiness and pride of her son; I will never forget that chance meeting and of course, her beautiful smile and laughter. May memories of her and the love of family give you strength and comfort. God bless, Elvia

"Eternal rest,grant unto her,O Lord,and let perpetual light shine upon her.May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God Rest In Peace. Amen" Joe and Kike, Betty and I began our teaching career at Nixon Annex so many years ago. We also continued to work together at Cigarroa High. She was a lovely person, a hard worker, a faithful friend. We were all so lucky to have had her in our lives. God bless you.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your family’s loss. Mrs. Almazan was a great person, and she will live on in our memories forever. From the words of American poet, Maya Angelou, "A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again."

Our baby sister is gone. You never said I'm leaving , you never said goodbye. you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts we hold a place that only you can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you, the day God took you home. We miss you sister....your brothers and sisters

A beautiful soul, full of love and faith, ascended to heaven, away from us, but closer to God, leaving loneliness and sadness. We will miss our beautiful cousin who was like a sister to us. The sleepovers were most memorable, especially when we had a sleepwalker amongst the group. Heaven has gained an angel. Love you cuz! Give a hug to my dad-Tio Mando for me. You will always be in my prayers
