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

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
