Through her we learned that ?family has no boundaries?, whether you are our first cousin or our fourth cousin, you are still family and you would always find unconditional love in her home. Her home was a gathering place for family, friends and neighbors filled with lots of love, food and laughter. She will always be in our hearts and live on in our memories forever. Our family would like to thank Dr. Ace Alsup III and his Nurse Barbara (last name) of Austin Internal Medicine Assoc., Evelyn Mata and Xavier Resendez of First Care and the staff of Hospice of Austin for the wonderful healthcare they provided.
