Adela greatest interests was, the happiness and caring for her
family. Adela so loved her husband and all her children, that she
freely sacrificed all she wanted for the benefit of her loved ones.
Her Life’s sacrifice was the bright star on our Christmas tree which
led US TO THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST! To Adela’s children, her
daily demonstrated love was but a small glimpse of JESUS’ LOVE.
Adela truly was the virtuous wife in Proverbs 31. She brings her
husband and family good, never harm, all the days of her life. Adela
revered God and lived her entire life with the desire to honor and
serve the Lord Jesus Christ. Adela was the obedient servant. She
never said a negative word about anyone and befriended everyone
she met with kind and loving words. Adela helped everyone who
was in need. Adela loved all her children’s many friends. She kissed
them, hugged them, calling them all “mijo” or “mija”, and fed them
as they walked into the house. She was the MOM of the
neighborhood. Other Mom’s in the neighborhood had to work. Our
Mom Adela’s work was being a mom to those children who missed
their moms. Adela will be missed by so, so many. Our comfort and
joy is knowing Adela is in the Loving Arms of Jesus
