Liz, It has been an honor to be your daughter in law. I miss your smile.
Raul, I love you and want you to know that the love you have for Liz is the kind most of us have only read about in a fairytale, thank you for teaching us all what it is to truly be in love and be totally devoted to not just to that person but, to an entire family. No one could have taken better care, or loved her the way you have always done. I am so sorry for your loss and for the family’s loss. Please know we are ALL here for you to lean on, we can help each other get through this difficult time. There are no words to express our gratitude to you and the love we have for you for always loving our mom/grandma. Thank you

Dictionary definition of Liz Zapata, loving wife, mother, grand-mother, great grand mother and

Although we were never close Aunt Elizabeth I will always remember the times when I was a little girl and we would come see you with Big Granny and Daddy. Rest In Peace and give Daddy and Big Granny a big hug for me.
