To my dearest Tia Petra I loved hearing your laugh when you and mi Tio Emilio would start to tell jokes. I wished that we could have gone to visit you more often but now you are in a much better place no more sorrows and pain. Please give my mom and dad and all the family a big kiss and hug from me. To all my Primos and Primas we are so sorry for your loss she was a great woman and she will be missed dearly. May God give you the comfort and strength to endure this hardship. With all our love Ramon and Carol Ayon

We were the first home in the subdivision, (the young couple) Mr. and Mrs. Saenz were the 2nd home in the subdivision (the older couple). Together we shared moments and memories as they watched my children grow. I will forever treasure the times we spent just talking about the family and how grateful they were that GOD had been so good to them. When he took the first angel (Mr.Saenz) it was hard but we knew he was paving the way and making sure everything was ready for Petrita because she was his reina. Now God has called Ms. Saenz to join her true love in heaven. I will forever keep Ms. Saenz in my heart because when I lost my Mom she was there for me. May God Bless the family and know that we will be your neighbors forever. Robert, Thelma, Gaby, Robert III and yes our dog Ms, Saenz so loved Jaydee.

My mom and I have you in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and always. Betty Kramer

To my Saenz Family, I just wanted to express my sincere deepest sympathy to you all. May God give you comfort and strength at your time of sorrow. There are many miles between us, and although we rarely get to visit, I have many fond memories of your Mother my Tia. As a child we would make it to Texas just about once a year, I would so look forward to visiting my Tio and Tia. They both shared jokes, and many wonderful stories. It's been about four years that we visited Laredo, I called my Tia and she invited my husband and I for lunch. She cooked us a wonderful meal, and her lemonade. My husband now refers to Tia as the "Lemonade Lady". I will always treasure all the wonderful memories I have of My Tia, May she Rest in Paradise.
