Everyone who knew her whether in Los Lunas or Albuquerque knew her as MOM. She was the center of our family and spoiled us with all with her delicious cooking and fresh tortillas for anyone that visited. She loved and welcomed everyone with open arms. She cherished all her grandchildren with everything she was. Over the years mom needed much care, the family would like to thank all those who helped in her care and fieldtrips to the casino. I'm sure she is sending a big hug and thank you down from heaven. Her smile was contagious and will live on in our hearts forever.
