To the Martinez Family:
We are so sorry for the loss of our dear Aunt Morena. Roberto and I will never forget the yard sales we enjoyed with your mom. She truly loved having them and we loved having her with us because she always knew how to best price items and how to have a successful sale. Roberto and I still share stories of all the sales we had with her. My children will all miss her as she always was so kind to ask for them and enjoyed hearing about them. In fact, Ericka still has the doll and rocker she gave her when she was about a year old, which Aunt Morena used to coax her to come to her and get her to smile. Eventually, she won her over and Ericka would hide behind me and say, “That’s the lady that gave me my doll.”
When Aunt Morena moved to Ovid, she made this village a better place with her companionship, great stories and of course, her ability to make a sale. Detroit, Gilroy and Ovid has lost a great aunt, sister, mother and individual. Thank you for sharing her with us and God Bless the Martinez family.
Love Roberto and Caroline Hernandez and family
