    I will miss her stories and her sayings. They were hilarious and made me laugh so hard.

    Genuine, hard worker, warm, generous, and with a great sense of humor; yet strong and quite a warrior. She will be deeply missed. May she rest in peace.

    I am going to miss my former neighbor and one of my greatest friends that life has given me. Too much to say and not enough time. I am going to miss you xochil and having long conversations about life, your culture and education you taught me so much.
    You will always be in our hearts!

    Siento mucho la pérdida de mi querida Tía Xochitl. Hace mucho tiempo que deseábamos saber de ella. Mi papá, que ya tampoco está con nosotros, siempre la extrañó y añoró su compañía jovial y cariñosa, pero muchos años no pudo contactarla de nuevo.
    Deseo que mis primos Michelle y Memo se encuentren bien y espero poder reencontrarnos nuevamente.
    Abrazos cariñosos de Enrique Patiño Leyva.
