Ruben I am so sorry I had to miss Vilma’s service. Monday morning my mom had a massive stroke. She was on hospice and passed on Sunday. My prayers and thoughts were with Vilma and all of you on the day of her service.
I was going through old photos and found these. I pray you and the kids are holding on. The loss is so hard. I asked my mom to give Vilma a huge hug for me ♥️

Nina, I thought we had more time. We just came back into each others lives and I was thanking God to have you back. Thank you for everything. My childhood would not have been the same without you. Give my mom a big hug and kiss when you see her. I love you!

Vilma, you have always been there. Our sister from another mother. We have shared our lives and families since our teens. It is not possible to describe how much you’ll be missed “hunny-bunny”. You will always be loved and remembered for the beautiful person you were. Rest in peace and know that we will always be here for my brother Ruben and the entire family. Deepest love always.

Vilma and I became friends over 30 years ago. We lost touch a few times but always came back together. She had a loyal heart, a generous spirit, and a laugh that could fill a room. The world is quieter without you. I will always cherish the memories and friendship. You will be truly missed. Till we meet again my dear friend. Love always, Suzy Q.

I first met Vilma when I came to Kin-Gap back in 2016 and sat right on the other side of her separated by a walkway. And she welcomed me right away and was so kind and such an awesome person. I really didn't know anyone in that new section, and she made me feel that I always belonged and introduced me to everyone and since then we became fast friends and buddies. I was saddened to hear of her passing and know that heaven definitely gain a beautiful soul. May you rest in peace. Love and miss you my dear friend. Arlene

We met in 1993 when we were just clerks at the West Covina office and you were the one who trained me. You left and went to work the new program EA and shortly after I join you and we remain friends all these years. I will miss your words of encouragement when we would talk and when you would call me and tell me to say shut up which was our joke. it seems like yesterday when we talk and you told me you had been in the hospital and you were feeling better. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel. I love you and you will always be in my heart. Rest my friend.

My sweet Vilma always my BFF since we met in high school. Even though many times the years divided us and we lost track of one another. But we always found a way to come back together again. Life just gets in the way and all my moving around put distance between us. But I always knew in time we’d reunite once again. I just never thought I’d completely lose you without a last goodbye 😢 I pray you knew just how much I loved you and you will forever be in my heart ♥️ I know you’re up there in a peaceful beautiful place with our Heavenly Father, now a guardian Angel for your family. May you Rest peacefully my Best Friend. Found this picture of you at school and the other 2 at my apartment for a birthday party. Love you Vilma always.

I remember telling you that I found a photo of us from when I was little. I was sitting on your lap, and I said we should recreate this picture. Well we attempted it…
Nina, my love for you is boundless. I will treasure every moment of our conversations and every text message you’ve sent. Your memory will live on and be passed down to Olivia. She will remember her Nina Vilma. ♥️🌻
Love you forever and always
Alexandra and Miss Olivia
