    I just wanted to share some more fun times spent with Tia. Some of my greatest memories of her were when we were younger and we would all get together as a family and the uncles would pull out the guitars and sing. Tia would always come over to us and try to teach us how to dance to some of the Portuguese songs. It was always so funny and such a great time. Connie and I were just a year apart so I spent a lot of time at Tia and Tio's house. We use to have sleep overs and my Uncle would talk in his sleep and my Tia would always chime in, "Oh Shut Up Serafin." Connie and I would giggle so hard. One of my greatest memories was going camping along the coast with them for a week. The pig killings at their house and how we would all take part in some way and then have a big feast afterward. We had the best time. Tia always had a way of making me laugh. Through the years we all grew up and I moved away and didn't get to spend that much time with her and it's been a long while since I've seen her. They always remembered my girls and us with Cards at graduations and Christmas. It's hard to believe that she is really gone. Even though I haven't seen her for a while, I still miss her and the fact that I will not get to see her again on this earth, but I do know that we will meet again someday and she will dance with me and make me smile and laugh like she was so good at. I am so sorry for your loss Connie, Tio, Brian, Jessica and the rest of the family. I love you both very much. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
