God had given our mom two beautiful angels from heaven that cared for her over the last year. So much gratitude, love and respect for her sister, Carmen Martinez, and her sister in law, Jane Espinoza, for their endless love in honoring her wishes to remain at home. We owe a great deal of thanks and love for their selfless devotion over the past year.
