On February 13, 2008, Francita Vasquez Gonzalez, was called home by our Father. She was the loving wife of Theodore Gonzales, mother of her beloved animals, sister of Eleanor Nash, Angie Campa, Leon Vasquez, Gilbert Vasquez, Jesse Hernandez, and the dear departed Maria Correa. Although, she struggled with a lifetime illness of rheumatoid arthritis, she continued to touch the hearts of all whom crossed her path. Without question, she embraced everyone with open arms, hospitality, charitable gifts and generosity. Her smile and her strength enlightened our souls. Her perseverance, honesty, and kindness, was a mirror image of her gentle character and most importantly her heart. She was a woman who loved a special kind of love. She loved not like most, but mostly like GOD. She Loved Unconditionally, and we were fortunate to have her with us for so long. May she Rest in a land of Peace throughout eternity. God knows she earned it.
