Dora E. Cortez
November 1, 1954 ~ February 25, 2011
Our Father has finally called our mother home, where there is no suffering. For those who did not know our mom, she was a very strong woman, and fought as hard as she could. She is survived by her three sons, Frank, Mark and James Zavala; husband, G. Cortez; sister, Rosalinda Rodriguez; brother, F. Salazar; eleven grandchildren; loving friends, Mingo, Roland, Terry and many others whose hearts were touched by this wonderful person. Our mother's memories will live on through her family and friends. Mom, you will never be forgotten. Wishing you were here-we love you Mom (la India)!

My Mom was a real fighter for her family, she is irreplaceable in that way. The beauty she has is untouchable, she really cared for others rather than herself, God has said to pray to Him, to others, then for yourself and that is exactly how she was. My Mom will be missed and I know that life goes on. She will Always be in our Hearts and know that my Mom is in good hands.
