Where do I begin, there’s so many memories I don’t think it’s even remotely possible to pick just one, I remember whenever I’d sleep over when Chris and I were younger, when it was time to go to bed Ma would tuck us in so tight we could hardly move. She would also take us out to do safe and supervised hijinks. If the sprinklers were on in a park or a business’s lawn she’d pull over say “30 seconds” and Chris and I would hop out and make a run for it as fast as we could! We’d also go ding dong ditching with Ma being our escape route. And I’ll never forget the year I was dressed as tinkerbell for Halloween, she drove Chris and I to 7/11 and I turned back to her after we got out and said “does this tutu make my butt look big?” And this big cholo dude goes “I’d tap that!” I know I’ll never live that moment down. And when I got kicked out of my house, she took me in without a second thought until I had somewhere else to go. She truly is and always will be a second mother to me. She is the reason I pay attention to and learn street names wherever I am. She’s a big part of who I am and who I’ve grown to be. She will forever be in my thoughts and in my heart! I love you Ma! Rest peacefully.

I’m heartbroken over the sudd…
2024, Monrovia, CA, USA
I’m heartbroken over the sudden loss of Vonna (she wouldn’t allow me to call her anything but Vonna, the name I’ve called her since I couldn’t pronounce Yvonne in my younger years). She was more than my mom’s best friend in high school— she was like family to me, and so many of my childhood memories were spent with her and her children Amanda and Christian. She helped shape my formative years with her kindness, laughter, and love. I will carry her in my heart always, and my thoughts are with her family during this unimaginable time.
