<3

Grandma Eduarda Cabiles Cachola.
I miss you, you lived a long life, and you did so much for so many people. You had six kids, (Aida, Tudy, Demy, Alma, Elsie, and Leonardo) and seventeen grandchildren and great-grandchildren. You were the eldest of six children but lived the longest. You suffered many deaths of loved one, all your siblings, parents, and your son. You helped raise almost all of you great-grand and grand children.

After finishing only sixth grade you helped your family work in the fields. And met your husband, Valentin at a party. Right before World War II you got married, which means you were married for atleast seventy years. After having and raising all six children, you helped raise their children. You first moved to California to help raise Ernest, Tudy's son. Then to Hawaii to help raise Elmer and Elayne, Aida's children. And back to California to help raise Elsie's children Ronald and May. And you continuted to help raise your great-grandchildren.

In June you were immited to the ICU and was diagnosed with pnumonia. With everyone gathered around you, your husband, children, and some grandchildren, you waited to pass. Until the last of your children arrived from Hawaii, Aida. As soon as she arrived and said her goodbyes you passed, knowing that everyone was with you. Your eyes watered before you passed, and after you cried. And you continuted to cry even after you passed.

Even though I never got to see you a whole lot, I knew you were a good person. You were 93 years old, and still remembered everyones names. You were always smiling when I saw you. And all the stories that I've heard about you are good, never bad. You always looked after me, cared for me, and remembered me.
Grandma we love and miss you!
