"Tia Chila as I light this candle and any other candle in our home I will remember the beautiful memories you have left me I will always remember you as a loving , funny and generous person. You were my dad’s oldest oldest sister who always showed love and patience. As I grew older I saw you as an example of a great example of a humble woman with knowledge and patience . I love you Auntie Chila keep this candle lit until we meet again. ♥️"
