She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her. Our mother was a strong and wonderful woman who can never be replaced. We have been blessed with amazing and supportive families who have helped us through this journey. We would like to thank Dr. Gregory Guzley, Dr. Sosa, Cheryl Rabe and the gracious staff at Uvalde Hospice for providing excellent care for our loving mother.
And with a special appreciation to our kind father, Manuel Z. Lozano, our aunts, Martha Garcia, and Maria Nevarez for dedicating their lives to our mothers care in her final days. There are no words to express our love and gratitude. God has truly blessed us with a beautiful family.
