Dear Yolanda and family
It was with deep sadness I learned of the passing of
Mrs. Fuentes. Her journey on Earth was long but her time in Heaven will be eternal.
God bless and comfort you all.
A VISION
An angel sang in the heavens tonight
And welcomed another soul
with pure delight
A soul that left loved ones behind
And suffers no more, is peaceful of mind
The angel then guided the joyful soul
To meet the Lord with grace,
“Welcome, Herlinda†He said
And gave the soul a warm embrace
An angel sang in the heavens tonight
as the Lord received a precious soul
with pure delight.

Yolanda, my deepest condolences to you and your family. May she rest in peace.
She was actually my great grandmother too, I was so sad when my grandpa told me the news…
I was never really close to her, but reading this makes me want to cry. It amazes me how she managed to fight against cancer and live to 102 years old. Allison always helped my great grandma.
