I can remember when i picked up my mother on thanksgiving and i was cooking a roast and my mother said she did not eat that nasty pig it was disgusting so she sat down in the living room and i then started to cut up the pork for dinner then i had to use bathroom when i came back i saw her taking a piece of pork out of the pot i did not say anything but i knew she was going to eat it so i started to cut it in front of her and as i was cutting she asked can you give me that piece i didn't say anything and gave it to her and smiled as to say i knew you ate meat.loved my mother deeply and know she is with my lord in heaven and i love all of my family members for honoring my loving mother and lets honor our grandfather too in prayer staying together no matter were we live and what we are going through we are still family love all you ladies and gentlemen and god bless us all.

My name is Dionna Ortiz.I am the oldest daughter of her oldest son, William. I didn't have as much time with her as the rest of my cousins but the time I did have is fresh in my mind. I remember talking and sitting with her. I too remember the cheek pinching,the hugs and kisses, the smiles. I always wanted to see her more after we moved, to talk to her,to know her. I remember when we came for a visit to Connecticut in 2002 and we saw her at my Tio Esteban's house. Her whole face lit up and she hugged,kissed, and pinched our cheeks.She sat Daddy down by her and just talked to him, looking as though she was committing his face to her memory.
My father always wanted to go back to see her again but sadly circumstances would never allow it.All either of us had was pictures and phone conversations. As I got older my desire to know her grew.Whatever I could learn about her I absorbed.
Though I have memories of Abuela Gloria, none of my 7 brothers and sisters have any. This is what makes my sadness a bit greater. They will never get a chance to experience her love as I. All they know is that their Big Sister loved her and wanted to see her again. They will not experience that beautiful smile,feel her loving warm arms wrap around them in a hug,or feel the intensity of her love in that pinch. So I treasure what few memories I have because they don't have any at all.
My fondest memory will always be of us sitting together eating sticky buns and watching The Jungle Book.

My name is Catrina Ortiz, daughter of Grandma Gloria's son Jose Ortiz. My time with my grandma may have been short, but was precious to me in more ways than one.Though I have many childhood memories with Grandma Gloria, the one that stands out the most, was back in 2004 when my family and I went to Connecticut to visit the family, and we went and spent a whole day with her. Grandma Gloria was all to happy to see my mom and dad, her reaction to my brother and I, on the other hand, was very funny. She looked at my mom and dad and asked, were are my little girl and my little fat little boy? We looked at her and smiled, telling her, we are right here, we have grown up a lot since you last seen us. Grandma Gloria had that look on her face like NOOOOOO! she then looked at my mom and asked what is she feeding my brother, and then demanded we give her a hug and kiss.I can recall laughing as my brother had to bend down just to hug and kiss her when she suddenly grabbed his cheeks and tried to pull them as far off his face as she could, laughing at him as he yelled MAAAA! feeling helpless because it was his grandma and what was he to do. My mom laughed and told him boy you are on your own. That day for me was the best day out of the 2 weeks we spent up there visiting family.

I remember when I first met my mother-in-law. She had a thing for pinching peoples cheeks, especially if it was or looked chunky to her. She would squeeze them with such tenderness, and look at you with her Loving eyes, letting you know of her approval. Then she looked at me very stern and ask, do you know how to speak spanish, I later on learned that her question had to do with her sons choice of women. I laughed, said yes, and then she tried to feed me.
Mom Gloria and Dad Esteban welcomed me into theirs hearts and lives without any prejudice, til their dieing day. My name is Irma Ortiz and I am married to her son Jose Ortiz; My husband proudly gave Gloria, her first granddaughter LaToya Ortiz, and with me her first grandson, Bartholomew Ortiz, and her fourth granddaughter, Catrina Ortiz. Our three children have since grown up and started a family of their own and have given Gloria great grand children; Marvin,Leilani,Jossann,Saraiha,and Isaiha.
I remember the very big smile, with tender loving tears, slowly running down her face as she held her grandson for the first time, gently rocking him back and forth, just staring at him with amazement, when she stopped, took a big sigh, and then said, laughing, what am I suppose to do with a boy, after having so many girls in the house, especially since, after my son came yet another girl.
I remember the spoiling of the grandchildren, how she would point out every little thing they did and just laugh, because she found them to be so cute and funny. The battles she would give me, because she did not want me to help her in the kitchen, or with the bathing, or feeding of the girls. There was another time, for my daughters 2nd birthday, where the birthday fell on the same day as Easter that year. We had filled some Easter eggs with candy and dispersed them throughout the apt we was living in, all the kids had to find them and the one that collected the most would get a prize. Well Gloria noticed that the birthday girl was being over powered by the older kids and she started to find the eggs herself and would give them to the birthday girl, so she wouldn't feel left out. The funny part about it was, that when you asked what was she doing, she would have that look on her face like, what, I'm not doing anything, and when she thought we weren't looking she would pick some more up and give it to the b-day girl again, and the child was only too happy because she got to open yet another Easter egg full of candy, and her face and mouth was full of chocolate. We still have that picture to always remember.
I remember the stories she told about her very own kids growing up. How the boys would gang up, and tease their sister Evelyn. How her son Jose would sit there and brush her hair. How they would reck the house with their rough playing. Mother Gloria you will be missed and always Loved, and your memories will always be with us. I am just sorry that we moved so far away and time with you became limited. I Love you, my family Loves you and thank you for being the best mother-in-law.

Evelyn & Family, Our deepest sympathies to you & your family. We lift you up in prayer to the Lord for his strength, peace and comfort. Evelyn, I know how much you loved and cared for your mom. and I still remember how she would call you by your nickname "Be Be"...Even when we don't have answers to all the questions "why" Know that God is in control, and is always on your side. Gloria is now resting in the presence of our Father, and one day you will all see her again. John 14:2 "In my Father's house are many rooms; If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you and if I go and prepare a place for you. I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." Love Always Emily & Family
