Nana, there are so many reasons why you are so loved and will be so missed, but it is all the small things that make you special to me. The list on your fridge that helped you to remember all our birthdays (you never forgot), how your bathroom always had fun perfumes, lotions and soaps that could keep me entertained far better than coloring books or T.V. shows, how wherever you went you always remembered to send me a postcard for my collection and how you always had a fondness for strapping young Indians. You were always there for me. You visited me when I was up in college when most other relatives wouldn't bear the cold or the drive.Family is most important to you and you kept your family close even when several states apart. I love you Nana and will be very happy when one day I get to see your face and hear your sweet, joyful laugh again.
You will be missed Aunt Pat, your smile and loving personality will always be in my memory & heart. I know you and my Grandma Ruby will be traveling together again, but this time up in the heavens. Give a big hug to my Grandma Ruby, up there in heaven. Love You!

I will always love you.I can't wait till we see each other again:) Love your Grandson Adrian "AD"Alvarez
