I loved her very much. Josefa was the mother that I missed for 39 years. She had a great heart and was very warm and welcoming. My heart goes out to her family that became my adopted family. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, aunt and sister. Bye mom I will never ever forget you and how you always made me feel loved and happy.

Sincerely
Karl

Leisa and Family–I am so sorry for your loss. I know that your mother was the backbone of your family and that she will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. Please know that you are all in my thoughts at this time. Lorraine

Ms Fernandez (mom) was the most exceptional woman you could ever meet, she was truly a motta to our community. We all lost a big piece of our hearts when God called his ANGEL home. We will never forget our second mother, she left an everlasting impression on our entire family. “We love you and will remember you until we meet again and share your special cup of coffee. You rest now mom, you deserve all God has for you to endure. I love you.

Your son (Dana Lymon).
