Juan told me to tell you thank you for bringing me into this world, he says you gifted him with the most precious gift he could ever been given. The kids told me to tell you thank you, that because of you they have me. They all have your sense of humor, they all love to write. Thank you for the many talents and gifts that you passed down to us. We will carry you on,, you will continue to live through us and in us. We love you, you are an Angel now, and we know you are watching over us. By they way, if you see daddy up in Heaven please tell him that I have loved him all of these years, please tell him that I hope ive made him proud of me and I hope that I have carried the Dalton name with the dignity and pride that it deserves, tell him that I know he has been watching over me all of these years and even though I'm a grown woman of 48 years, I will always be his baby girl. Tell gramma Annabelle that I am so proud to carry on her name, tell grampa Loyce that even though I didn't get to meet him here on earth that I can't wait to meet him in Heaven. Give grandma Christina a big hug for me, tell her I miss her rice and beans and the smell of coffee in the morning. Tell her that I'm finally speaking Spanish and can't wait to catch up with her in heaven. Im miss you dearly, but you are at peace now and I am comforted knowing that you are safe at home in Heaven.
Untill we meet again, love you always mommy,
Anna
We love you mommy❤️ Enjoy Paradise
I love you mommy
