I worked with Leticia on many occasions at the VA and she was a joy to be around. She had an infectious laugh and smile and the Veteran’s always received the best care from her and I was blessed to know her and work with her. She made me feel welcome when I first started working at the VA and I will cherish the memories of her always. RiP beautiful
Tisha and I played as kids. We lost track of each other as adults, then reconnected on Facebook a few years ago. We chatted back and forth and learned a little about each other’s families. One thing for sure, she loved her family! I’m greatful for the day I ran in to her at the uniform shop a couple of years ago…. I can’t remember what we talked about but we spent a few minutes chatting over the cloths racks. Heaven has a new Angel 😇 Rest in Peace cuz ❤
Mush love Tia Tisha. I love you and you will be missed. Until we meet again one day, God Bless you. From (Boy Sammy Chavez – Nephew) June 2 we have same birthday Amen
