Biography:

Con dolor y agradecimiento anunciamos el fallecimiento de Petrona Herrera Araiza, quien partió a la presencia del Señor el 14 de mayo. With sorrow and gratitude, we announce the passing of Petrona Herrera Araiza, who entered into the presence of the Lord on May 14.

Mamita de mi corazón, has dejado un vacío muy grande.
Fuiste una mujer luchadora, trabajadora, consentidora y amorosa.
Una abuelita muy querida, cariñosa y con un corazón tan hermoso.

Siempre serás recordada como una mamita guerrera, fuerte y llena de amor.
Tu belleza y tu cariño vivirán por siempre en nuestros corazones.

My grandma was always kind, and funny especially when it came to new people or people she already knew. I know now that shes in a better place and will be missed because of the kind of person she was. She will always be in my heart and I will continue to love her unconditionally.

Mi abuelita fue una mujer increíble, llena de amor, paciencia y bondad Siempre estaba para todos, cuidando, ayudando y dando cariño sin esperar nada a cambio. Tenía un corazón enorme y una manera muy especial de hacer sentir bien a las personas que la rodeaban. Era fuerte, luchadora y muy dedicada a su familia.

Fue una mujer que dejó huellas bonitas en cada persona que tuvo la oportunidad de conocerla. Sus consejos, sus abrazos y su forma de demostrar amor son recuerdos que siempre voy a guardar en mi corazón. Le gustaba ver a su familia unida y hacía todo con mucho amor y dedicación.

Aunque hoy ya no esté físicamente con nosotros, su recuerdo seguirá vivo siempre. Su amor, sus enseñanzas y todos los momentos bonitos que compartimos jamás se van a borrar. Siempre será un angelito cuidándonos desde el cielo

Fuiste la mejor madre que Dios me dio, la mejor mamá y la mejor abuela.
Te amaré por siempre, mamá. Mi corazón quedó vacío por dentro, pero sé que ya no estás sufriendo.

Te llevaré siempre en mi corazón. Ahora eres mi ángel.
Te amo mamá.

 

Mamita was like a second mother to me, and I will always cherish the memories we shared together. I will never forget all the times we laughed, played around, and joked with each other. Her presence brought so much warmth and comfort into my life, and she always knew how to make those around her feel loved.

No matter what challenges came her way, Mamita always remained strong and positive. She was constantly reassuring and encouraging me in every aspect of my life, reminding me to keep going even during difficult times. Her strength and kindness were qualities that inspired me every day.

Even when her time was near, she still tried to stay strong for all of us, especially for me. I know she worked hard to hide the pain and suffering she was carrying because she did not want us to worry. Her love, courage, and selflessness are things I will forever hold close to my heart. She will always be part of me wherever I go and I will forever love her for who she was till her end.

    My mother-in-law was like a second mother to me. She always gave me advice and wasn’t afraid to correct me when I was wrong. I cherished every moment with her and loved her deeply.

    She helped me buy my first car without hesitation and never expected anything in return. I will always be grateful for her kindness and generosity. She never forgot my birthday, and every Father’s Day she would call me and take me out to dinner.

    Thank you for always being there for me when I felt alone, and for always being there for my wife and kids. You will always hold a special place in my heart.

    Love,
    Son in-law

    My grandmother was one of the most loving and hardworking people I have ever known. I had the blessing of growing up with her, and some of my favorite memories are the simple moments we shared. I remember picking her up from work, and how she would always bring me snacks, thinking of me even after a long day. That was just who she was, selfless, caring, and always putting others first. She was the sweetest soul, someone who made everyone feel safe, loved, and cared for. I will always cherish the nights we spent together, especially how she would sleep beside me, making me feel comforted and at peace. Her presence alone brought warmth into my life. She worked so hard, and loved even harder. There was never a moment where I doubted how much she cared. She showed her love in everything she did, and that is something I will carry with me forever. I will miss her deeply, but I am so grateful for every memory, every laugh, and every moment we shared. She will always hold a special place in my heart. Te amamos y extrañamos todos los dias, gracias por enseñarlos a siempre seguir adelante en familia.

    Solo he conocido a su abuela unas pocas veces, pero la primera vez que conocí a toda la familia realmente sentí el amor y el cuidado que todos tenían el uno por el otro, especialmente por su abuela, que me pareció tan conmovedora y hermosa. Ella era realmente amada tanto por su familia, así que me duele el corazón ver a esta familia tan devastada por su fallecimiento y me hace desear que las cosas pudieran haber ido de una manera diferente para ellos. Puede que no la haya conocido personalmente, pero conozco a la familia que había creado y me gustaría darle las gracias porque ha formado una familia tan hermosa, generosa y acogedora que tuve la suerte de haberla conocido, y me alegro de haberla conocido, incluso si fue solo un par de veces, estoy agradecido por todo.
