Few other women match Grandma Perez’s compassion and charity. Every time our family stayed at Grandma’s she woke before everyone and was the last to go to bed. She fed us, tended to the grand kids and even snuck off with our laundry. Her marriage to Grandpa has been inspiring to Jr and I. They shared a devotion and understanding of two who weathered through life in love. We love her and look forward to being with her again.
You have my deepest sympathies in this moment of greiving. You will be in our families prayers.
It’s been my honor to have Maria (and Erasmo) in my life for over 40 years. I was blessed to have her influence in my childhood which I have carried with me all my life. As an adult I always made my friend’s children feel cared for, loved and special – just like she did for me. She had a way of infusing love into everything she did! She was an amazing person, mother, wife, and friend. I know my mother (Janie Ramirez) will be sad to lose such a friend who has been like a sister to her. Although the world has a little less love here now that she is gone, we will always carry it in our hearts. And it is comforting to know that I have such a loving angel watching over myself and her family from Heaven. I will be forever grateful for her!
To the Perez family Our heart felt condolences go out to our nephew Jesse and his entire family during this time of loss of your wonderful mother. God bless all of you and provide you the strenght needed to continue on during this grieving period. Love to all, Aunt Teresa and Uncle John and the rest of the Czuahjewski family.
Maria worked for our neighbors when I was a little girl.She was always so very kind and sweet to my sister and I.My mother and her became fast friends and continued over the years. We always looked forward to the pink cake she would bring my Mom every year! I’m glad God did not let her suffer long and she’s in a better place, but her kind, sweet spirit will be missed!

OUR CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY AT THIS MOST DIFFICULT TIME. REMEMBER THE LORD SAID “ABSENT FROM THE BODY, PRESENT WITH THE LORD”
ANITA WAS MY SECOND MOTHER TO ME, I WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PLACE FOR HER IN HEART. I ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO HER CALLS, TALKING ABOUT HER CHILDREN WITH SO MUCH LOVE. SHE WAS SO PROUD OF HER CHILDREN. ANITA WAS PART OF OUR FAMILY AS WE WERE GROWING UP. SHE WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF ME. I LOVED HER VERY MUCH. I SEE HER TALKING TO MY MOTHER WATCHING OVER BOTH FAMILIES.
My deepest sympathy for the family. One day soon, death will be swallowed up forever …Isaiah 25:8 and also Jesus promises, the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out…John chapter 5 verses 28, 29…and the aging process reversed.Job chapter 33 verse 25
My deepest sympathy goes out to the family for their lost. May God bless you and give you the needed strength to make it through this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God surround you with angels and comfort you always.
Rick, Our condolences to you and your family. May it help to know that we are praying for you. It is so hard to let someone go who means so much to so many people. Let memories of your mother warm your heart every time you are feeling a loss. God Bless You Friend, The Soto Family
Alma, my condolences to you and your family. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you!
To the Perez Family (Rick), My prayers go out to you and the family. May God bless and keep you. We(Soto Family)are here for you so whatever we can do in time of sorrow please call on us. God Bless You.
Alma, my deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Keeping you in thought and prayer.

To the Perez family (Alma), My deepest sympathy for your loss. My thoughts have been with you. I will also continue to pray that the Lord comfort you and your family.
Dear Friends and Neighbors…Mrs. Perez’s love of mankind, compassion, caring, and thoughtfulness of everyone around her will never be forgotten, because her giving and loving self is obvious in all her children and husband. The Lord has surely welcomed her,a good and faithful servant: Remember her with joy and laughter,for that is how she will remember you. Do not weep in sorrow for long, for remember, she is in Paradise with our LORD, Amen.
To the Perez Family (“Tio Erasmo”, Ricky, Jesse, Alma, Belinda & JR): My heart is very sad to know that “Tia Maria” isn’t with us anymore, I will deeply miss her and will never forget the great love she shared with everyone, and the great encouragement she was to all her family and friends. I believe that we could not have been this blessed if it had not been for your strong love and faith, because your life weathered the storms and trials that came your way and your determination let us all know that we are not to settle for second-best and that though we may fall you will be right there to pick us up. I have been on both the west coast and east coast and have still not met anyone with such a loving attribute as “Tia Maria”. Surely we are all saddened to have lost such a “rose”, but the angels are rejoicing that another “rose” has come home to God’s garden where GOD will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. Love Always, Jose R. Urzua-Ortiz (Robert)
