I'm not sure of her actual age, but I know it was in the latter 90s. Like my grandfather, she had many children and contributed to the bigness of our family. Unlike my other great-aunt, she was caring and nurturing. She created sweets and treats to sell to the neighborhood to support her family, and often gave out these same treats for free to the local children and her family. She was lively and spirited until her health turned, and was relocated to Los Angeles from Mexico. She passed this evening, quietly in her sleep, from nothing more than old age, surrounded by her eldest daughters.

She was a great woman, and I will miss her very much. At least she joins my grandfather who passed earlier this year in March.

I shouldn't be listening to The Poxy Boggards "Why Are You Crying" while I write this.
