I have to Post this is this Book. On 9/24/22 when my Mami gained her Wings My husband & Mami's Sin In Law wrote this & it touched my Hearr. He was my SUPPORT for 2yrs & 2wks. He Flew to Lakewood NJ to bring my Mami Home with me. I couldn't have given my Mami the BEST 2YRS & 2WKS of her LIFE without my husband Lee. My mother loved you so much & every night I sat in her bedroom with her till it was her bedtime she Praised her Son In Law & always said..she could go in PEACE knowing I had such an Amazing Husband Father Lolo. Mami Lee loved you. What an Honor to have a SPECIAL HUSBAND who Brought my Mami home.

Ms. Cuevas, My Sweet sweet sweet soul♥️ Every time, I would visit you and when we would make eye contact as I walked in your room, immediately there was a huge smile on your face and oh boy did that make me feel so good❣️During our visit, we would laugh a.k.a. cut up talk about every everything including men…. ha ha ha ha but oh how grateful I am to God to have been able to cherish every visit we had together. You were such a gentle kind loving soul who reminded me of my own grandmother who has such characteristics of yourself♥️♥️♥️♥️ At the end of each visit, you would kiss my hand and tell me to be careful going home. I do know Heaven has gained another joyous angel and how grateful to God of how you shared your love, wisdom and joy on this place that we call Earth. Glory Be Unto God

We will never forget the love, advice, food and the togetherness we shared. So many special memories which we will hold close to our hearts forever! She was so many things to us, our Great-grandmother, our Grandmother, our Mother & our friend. Our hearts are heavy with her passing however we know she is with beloved Mother & daughter Barbara.

Mrs Cuevas was the sweetest soul and such a joy to be around. I loved my time as her nurse and enjoyed my time with her at every visit. She is so very loved by so many. My prayers are with her friends and family as you go through such a loss. I will miss her greatly but find so much peace in knowing she is healed and in the presence of Jesus.

Nicole Belanger September 29, 2022
Sweet Mrs. Cuevas you will be missed dearly. You were so sweet, caring, genuine, and funny. You truly had a heart of gold. You started as a patient for me but quickly stole my heart. I was there to take care of you, but you always worried about me. I miss our weekly visits, talks, and watching your soap opera with you. It was in Spanish and I didn’t understand a word of it, but the joy you got from your show made my heart smile. I hope you are in Heaven showing them all what a genuine Angel you truly are. You are so loved and deeply missed. Fly high sweet lady. Love, Nicole

Oh my Mother love, how the heavens are celebrating your coming home to paradise. What a wonderful job you did with your time on earth. God blessed you with your wonderful children and there family. Yes, we will always be family because you and I have a very special bond back in the day which will never be broken. That bond is what made us family which is your Daughter Sandie who gave you our son as your grand son to you to enjoy and great grand babies as well. You was a firm and no nonsense person and it is a great pleasure that I got to know you, you are a legend that has a legacy here on earth and I pray that God will bless them with peace and harmony. May Gods spirit be with each and everyone in this moment of lost of your flesh here on earth, but your spirit will be in the heavens with our lord and savior Jesus Christ living in paradise, Amen! God bless you all, Lilian,Lorain,Sandra,Hector,Barbra, Gods plan is bigger than you could imagine! My deepest condolences, Love you all Angel Enrique Velez II.
