She was very loved by me. When ever we saw eachother it was like old days. When my son Frank Anthony Cuevas Passed, she was the first one at the funeral home. When I enter and got to my son place of rest, she came up to me and hug me and we both scream and cried and held eachother very tight. I will never forget her arms around me. I attend her sisters and brothers wakes and I was always welcome like the old Bibi Frankie mom. To all I am sorry I will not be able to attend due to a prior engagement, my heart is broken and to all the family my deepest condolences.. With love as always Bibi.

To my amazing, the warrior, titi Maria. She always received me with open arms and la bendicion . She made me laugh because she had a sense of humor, and she was always blunt just like all the Cuevas are. Titi Maria, you loved me in your own way, and I loved you dearly for being you. You did for your community and neighborhood as well as for the family. I will always keep you in my thoughts and may you rest in peace now. Sending all my love to my cousins and their families.
