Mrs. Hernandez was born December 5, 1949 in Kansas City, Kansas. Mary dedicated her life to her family. She was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Her family was privileged to have her care for them with love and sopa. Mary expressed a strong desire to make the world a place where her children and grandchildren could thrive, a better and more just world. She had strong opinions and a wicked sense of humor that brought joy to those around her.
She was preceded in death by her father, Macario O. Salazar. They are now reunited in heaven, and we are comforted knowing that they are together again.
Survivors include her husband, Jesse D. Hernandez; their children, Jesse Hernandez (Tina), Laura Hernandez, Erica Hernandez-Scott (Darcell), Jessica Hernandez (Damien), and Gina Villalobos (Austin); and their grandchildren, Jay, Marissa, Desiree, Alicia, Aiyana, Jade, Acelyn, and Karl.

So sorry for your lost, may God give you comfort and strength in the days ahead. May the memories of your loved one live on and treasured and shared. God welcomed her home with open arms and told her, she’s in great company. Now she will be watching over all her loved ones from above and forever in your hearts.
Prayers and hugs to all of the Hernandez & Salazar Families!! We have another special angel in heaven to watch over each of us. Cousin Mary will be missed but never forgotten. She truly has earned her heavenly reward. Eternal Rest grant unto Mary, Lord! And may your perpetual light shine upon her. Amen.
( I know she was welcomed at the heavenly gates by Tio Mac, Grandma Bi, and my Dad. WOW, the party and laughter from all them in heaven. I can hear!.)
My prayers and sympathy for my brother and his family. May you have peace knowing that Mary is no longer suffering and is at peace, and she will miss you as much as you miss her. Always all my love, your sister Della.

So sorry for your loss Jesse and all your family. You are in my prayers. May God shine his perpetual light upon you in your time of sorrow.
My heart went out to your family for the loss of Mary. I loss my mother over 10+ years ago. But I found comfort in these few scriptures. I hope they find comfort for you during this difficult time.
Psalms 37:9,-11,29 9 For evil men will be done away with,j
But those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth.k
10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more;l
You will look at where they were,
And they will not be there.m
11 But the meek will possess the earth,n
And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance
29 The righteous will possess the earth,i
And they will live forever on it.j
Please look up these scriptures in your own copy of the Bible. It will give you confidence you will see Mary again under righteous condition where she is no longer sick but restored youth and healthy.

Jesse & Tina & Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I know this is a very difficult time, especially with losing Uncle Chap just 3 weeks prior. Try to be strong for each other, but at the same time take the time you need to grieve both together and individually. You have such a strong bond that I know you will get through this. I’m here when you need me.
My condolences to you and the rest of the Hernandez/Salazar family.
