Haritta had a great love for music and any time one of her songs came on she would put on show everyone wanted to be in her presence. Cooking came naturally but became a creative outlet for her to express herself she enjoyed seeing the smiles from others once they ate her food and the compliments did not make it any better it encouraged her to cook more and put on great displays (She made pretty food) but mostly what she enjoyed was being a mother and providing for her children. She was overly joyed and filled with an abundance of excitement once she was blessed with becoming a grandmother from her youngest child. She was an outstanding grandmother to Bailey and Riley Leyva; they formed a bond like no other. To see them you had to see her, once they came around it was over everyone, they became her life.
