I will really miss her. I worked for her several times, cleaning her house. She was a joy to work for and we always parted with a hug and I love you. She had a kind heart and appreciated my help. I know that she has gone on to meet her daughters and husband in Heaven. She was such a sweet lady.

My aunt Dulcina was a very kind, gentle, and loving person. Family meant everything to her. I pray she will rest now with the many loved ones that have gone before. Rest in peace my dear aunt and say hello to Patty Sue and Debbie for me. God bless you.

I have not been able to spend time with my Aunt Cina for many years but I grew up with her influence. She was such a wonderful very kind woman and I always enjoyed spending time during the summer months with her; she was my favorite aunt as a kid. LIfe was difficult for her losing two children early in life but she chose to go on and she absolutely adored her grandchildren! Aunt Cina had such an excellent work ethic and I always admired her sense of pride and love of family. I have comfort knowing that she lived a full life and is at rest with Patty Sue and Debbie! Rest in peace, Aunt Cina!
