Adela Marie Gonzales will be remembered for her selfless love, strength, and the deep impact she had on everyone she met. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends forever. Mom, you had the kindest heart, One that gave without a second thought. You would hand the shoes right off your feet Just to help someone else stand strong. You were love in human form, A comfort we could always lean on. No matter the storm, no matter the pain, You were steady, present, and strong. You laughed with us, cried with us, Sat close during stories on TV, With Sun Chips, seeds, and Reese’s near, Simple moments that now mean everything to me. You loved your children with your whole soul, But being Grandma was your greatest joy. Every hug, every smile, every laugh Was a treasure nothing could destroy. Now you are free from suffering and pain, Your worries gently fade away. You rest in peace, your heart made whole, In a place where tears can no longer stay. Though your hands we can no longer hold, Your love still guides us every day. In our hearts, in our memories, You never truly went away. Rest now, Mom, wrapped in peace, Reunited with those gone before. Until the day we meet again, You are loved forever, and missed even more.
