"Hi girl.I miss you soon much! It is sooo hard to believe that you are not here with us. The one thing that I do remember is that you are someone that always was there for me as well as you were always there for your family. You always were honest and true. I just want you to know that I take your advice true to heart. You are in my heart everyday. When I have a problem I think of all that you have said to me. It has made me a stronger person and how to live life. You will always be there in my heart . You will always be loved as a friend a mom an aunt and a grandmother. I remember all the great times.That's what's keep me going forward. Thanks for being such a great friend! I miss you like crazy. Lisa"

"Estoy contristada con la pérdida de su ser querido, bien sabemos que la muerte es algo que sucede día a día, pero hay una bella esperanza que nos traerá cierto nivel de paz. Por tal razón quería compartir con usted algunas palabras de consolación que le ayudaran en estos momentos difíciles, tal como me ayudaron a mí. Estas palabras se encuentran en la Biblia, si tiene Biblia le invito a que lea Hechos 24:15, Revelación 21:3, 4, Juan 5: 28,29, ahí notara que dichos textos hablan de la bella esperanza de la resurrección, solo podemos imaginar la alegría de volver abrazar a nuestro ser querido que ha fallecido. Para aprender de estas promesas solo hay que seguir el consejo de Juan 17:3. Con dicho pensamiento en mente le invito a que visite el siguiente enlace, http/www.JW.org/es/publicaciones/libros/tratado-muertos-volver-a-vivir/ Ahí encontrara un artículo que habla más al respecto."

The best part was that your daughter Tanya got baptized today! I know you are in heaven chearing her on right now... she is staying so strong and so are the boys. your granddaughters are so beautiful and loving, I'm so happy to have them in our lives. And your bff/ sister is holding out ok along with grandma, in time we shall all heal. Even tho your not physically here, I can still hear your voice and see your smile how can any of us forget. we all miss you so much.. We did the lantern ceremony as you know (u were there).. It was beautiful!! I'm sure you were laughing at us half the time as we chased the lanterns and prayed that the palm trees didn't catch on fire lol, but it really was a priceless moment. You are priceless! Till next time Titi as you always say ( Be Safe and see you later) Dear God Please help our family and friends from the pain we feel in our hearts, and the missing feeling that is hard to ignore. We all know how wonderful she is to us and that without her we feel incomplete.. help us remember and cherish those good memories and love she left us.. for our lives need to move on and stay strong for one another. I need you Titi! WE need you.. strengthen our hearts for you are our new Angel! In Jesus name AMEN."

"You have my deepest sympathy and empathy in you loss. During such a time I was greatly encouraged by a promise I found in the Bible at Revelation 21:3, 4 where a time will come when we will not experience the suffering that come from this type of tragedy. With this thought in mind I invite you to visit www.jw.org, there you will find more information on Gods promise of the resurrection. "

"Gone to soon....Sulma, I cannot determine the appropriate words to express how I really feel about losing you. However, the lord called you home and I have to accept that "Jesus" has a bigger job for you and your work here on Earth is done. Just know you taught me that family and love are things we need to survive. I will miss you so much.... Tonya, Anthony, Christopher and Nicholas be strong throughout your healing...Your mom loved each and every one of you. I am going to miss her yelling ....which meant she cared so, so much for each of you. I will always cherish those moments and many more ?. Family to the end..... "

"To some she was a awesome aunt, daughter, sister or friend. To me she was much more, she was not only my mother, but my father, my friend, my 1st true love. I am so proud to be called her son. You have shown me things that will never leave my memory. I am sad to watch you leave us but i know you will be in a better place and will always be watching over us. I know it seems like my emotions are bottled. Thats because you taught me to be strong, not only for me but for our family and loved ones. This is not to be confused with the amount of love that i have and will always have for you. Please watch over us mom and i know we will meet again. I love you. Your son Chris"

Christina wrote on Mar 23, 2014:

"UGH! This is one of the hardest things to deal with. My heart is beyond broken and things aren't supposed to be like this for a long long time. You have always been the sweetest, funniest, most fun, happy person. Always so welcoming and loving. I can't thank you enough for all of our memories and sharing Chris with me. Thank you for teaching him to be the best boyfriend ever. I know he wouldn't be the amazing person he is today without you. But you have nothing to worry about, I will take care of him. I have so much more to say but I'm sure you've heard me already. I know you're doing great where you are but please give us strength today. Love you!"

"What can I say about Sulma that hasn't already been said...except that she was awesome! I will miss my crazy boricua coming through that door everyday like a tornado and greeting me with a hug like if we hadnt seen each other in weeks. I wil miss her forever "hot flashes", her being upset at Julius for chewing on her very expensive snake skin heels, and at the end of my shift her telling me "ok chica be safe enjoy the rest of your day I'll see you tomorrow". I will miss her mothering me when I'd be feeling under the weather or just plain stressed out that she'd offer me a drink. Sulma has touched my heart and will forever remain there. This type of person can never be replaced. She will forever live on through our memories and her love for each of us. I know she has moved on to be with our heavenly father and that she is in a better place where she can no longer suffer. I pray for her and her family to have solace in knowing that she was a very unique soul who was a shinning star amongst us. God bless and may she Rest in Peace! Te quiero por siempre Sulmita! XoXo Lety"

" I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May you find comfort from your memories, as well as God's word the bible. Why do people we love die? Romans 5:12 says: "That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." How loving of God to promise what is found at Revelation 21:4 which says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." "

"To my sister. The sunshine of our lives and the glue that kept the family together. Words can't express the emptiness I feel. Who will I call when I get into an argument with Cindy our sister. Or to console me when I am being irrational. You will be forever in me heart and our memories will be eternal. You are the most beautiful angel in heaven!! Love you my sister."

"Titi Sulma It hurts so much that your not here. Im trying to keep it together for my cousins, it's just so hard.I know your in a better place, and i know life goes on. But you were the one that kept us all together and made us all laugh. I don't know how to move on but i will figure it out in time. I'm at the beach everyday thinking about you. I remember all our beach days with our family and friends, and all the love you gave even when you were mad. And all the talks you and i had were so special, i will never forget! I promise to not argue with my mom again, and i will make sure she goes to every family event. I will help take care of grandma, i know you would have wanted that. I love you."

Robin Nagele wrote on Mar 21, 2014:

"My memories of Sulma are so fond. Like so many others who had the pleasure of working with her know that she was an amazing person! She had exceptional phone skills which was a testament to her amazing personality. Whenever she would call me for business purposes, she would always first ask how I was doing. Sulma's passing is a tremendous loss to all who knew her. My staff and I will miss her! Rest in peace Sulma. Sincerely, Robin C. Nagele, Branch Manager, Tampa, Florida. "

Richard wrote on Mar 20, 2014:

"Sulma, I will never forget our brief conversations we had when you loaded me up with cases, lol. And how you volunteered to straighten them out when they got out of hand. Your laugh was infectious and warmed my heart when I heard it. No one could ever honestly say they were not moved by you when they had the experience of talking to you. You will always be Mi Querida!"

"Peanut, I miss you, I love you, I need you. So many times I say it, it will never get old. Even now as I write you are here with me crying :'( trying to keep it together. You showed me so much in life. Sucks your gone even knowing I will see you later I just want you here. I'm waiting for a tex massage can you bring eggs home, can you grab some milk, or the best ones don't get mad but Julius ate this or even nick broke that lol I miss them so much..... I'm not going to be selfish even though I want to be. I know Jesus has big plans for you that's why he could not wait and I trust in him that's how I know ill see you again. You are the best mom anyone can ever have and I am so thankful and so0o so0o blessed to have had 30 years of my life with you. Even though your not here physically your spirit lives inside of me and I will always have that along with all the amazing memories. I know your telling Julius to bother me right now as I write you :) I'm happy because I know your always with me and your in a place words can't even describe. I love you peanut and ill see you later :-*"

Watson wrote on Mar 20, 2014:

"A typical day, is no longer a typical day. The excitement she brings to work will be truly missed. She was there when I lost my brother and supported me with my father. Seeing Sulma laugh while complaining about Tanya and Cindy calling her at the same time is priceless. I enjoyed the pictures of Meatball in Julies and the stories that went along with them and the excitement that shows when Brian calls or texts her. It's heartbreaking to find the words to say to someone you assumed was going to be there tomorrow. Every day at 10 pm you say "be safe, I'll see you tomorrow" and for that not to happen are hard. It's tough to accept the reality she's really gone, but I'm blessed to have met someone that makes saying goodbye hard. "

You were my best friend, girlfriend, mother for your kids, best cook, best lover, best healer, and everything else I could ask for. I already went to the beach and you were right with me. I am so happy to have had you in my life, And now you can finally rest when you want or dance with your dad all the time. I know how much you missed him. I will always love u baby.

"It saddens me when I hear of someone losing a mother. Tanya my heart and love goes out to you and your family. We never know the time nor the hour when we will leave this earth But I would like to share with you. Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. I know it hurts but try and Think about all the good times you once shared she is only gone for a short time sleeping with no pain. We all shall see our love ones again ...

She always had a great story to tell me or something to say that just made everything OK. To her family, my deepest condolences on your loss."

Anita Daley wrote on Mar 20, 2014:

"Sulma, Dee Dee, as we all knew her by, was always on the go, but always made time for her loved ones. I remember her outgoing bubbly personality and her cute giggle. She always was true and said what was on her mind without pretenses. Most of all she was loving and non-judging. I never heard her speak ill of anyone, on the contrary ,she always lifted everyone up. I remember her generosity most and how everyone was family to her. I will deeply miss her, a rare gem, but I know she is in peace with our Lord and soon we will meet again."

Avis Mack wrote on Mar 20, 2014:

"Deepest sympathy to the family of this beautiful and nice woman. Ive only ever heard her voice over the phone but no matter the situation she was always understanding and kind. I really appreciate the help she afforded me and I can only imagine the joy that she would bring in her day to day interaction with the people she knew and loved. You will be missed.

Janica Cruz wrote on Mar 20, 2014:

"My Sulma, Where do I begin? You have opened my eyes to see that life is too short to hold onto grudges, resentment and negativity.You always were cheerful and kind and you shared that energy with everyone where ever you went. From that first time you greeted me in the elevator 1st day of orientation I knew you were someone special. What I love most about you is that you could take the worse situation and turn it positive. Sulma would drop anything and everything to attend to her family and even friends no matter what time of day. No matter how stressful her day was she still kept that smile on her face, I will never forget that smile. I love you girl and I know that one day we will one day be all reunited again. Words cannot express the true beauty of this amazing woman. It is a blessing and a privilege to have known and interact with her. You've made a footprint in my life and you forever will remain in my heart and memories. Love You Sulma"

"Sulma would brace me before handing over service calls each day. She was always so delightful to work with even at the busiest times of day. She always had such a great attitude. No matter how stressful my day, Sulma would always put a smile on my face before "releasing the wolves" customers with problems. Sulma recently sent me a picture of a sunset which I have added under pictures. The picture came with a message "my zen, Sulma". Thank you Sulma, "

"The thing I'll remember most about Sulma, in a word, is "Love". She loved her family, friends and, most of all, life. She is one of those rare individuals who understood what it was to live and not just exist. I will miss her exuberance, stubborness, perfectionist work ethic, and her Group On updates. I will never forget Sulma and I will always consider it an honor knowing her. God bless you, Sulma. Heaven is no longer missing an angel."

I remember when Tanya & Poppy were very young she would come home from work and cook them food right away! She didn't sit down. And boy...did they know when Mom came home they were gonna grub on some good food, no cereal for her kids. They would be waiting at the dinner table. She always had a niece or nephew there too...She was a warm, welcoming person. She will be greatly missed and Forever in our hearts. "

"I remember a night many years ago when Sulma and I were on our way to a night club in Miami. We got so lost. We kept going around in circles. Every time we thought we were on the right track, we kept coming back to the same spot on Le Jeune Road. It was like an episode of the Twilight Zone, and I was starting to get upset, but Sulma thought it was hilarious. She was like, "Oh my God! Le Jeune Road! Le Jeune Road! Oh my God!" After a while we were both laughing so hysterically that she could barely drive straight. I think we had more fun getting lost that night than we did when we finally got to the club. That was Sulma! Her happy spirit and laughter were contagious. I am blessed to have known her. Rest in peace beautiful girl. I will always remember you, and I will always cherish the memories. Love you always!"
