• Carmelita M. Duran 

A woman that made people feel special wherever she went. She always spoke to everyone she came across, and they grew to love her. She made her children feel special by singing  to us on our birthdays: ( You Are My Sunshine ) She had a hard life, but she was a strong woman and let the world only see her smile and kindness. She left behind: children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, a baby sister, lots of nephews, and nieces. She was Our Sunshine, Our Foundation, Our Shelter from the Storms. 

Mother, We will remember the sound of your voice, the last words you said before you left. Your hand entangled warmly in mine. I can still see your smile at the last promise I made, stopping my flow of tears; I hadn't had time to miss you, but I did what I promised I would. I pray this promise I kept will reach you in the heavens above, with a note that will read,  We love you Mother, We kept and will keep our promise to you, with love, your children.
