Honorary, "Mom," to many, Braulia, was very much loved by her family and friends. Gardening was a hobby that she enjoyed and was very passionate about, especially when it came to her rose bushes. She was a, "No nonsense," kind of woman, with a loving heart. A great story teller of family history and very truthful in all of her ways. Babies had a special place in her heart and she insisted on seeing every one of them. She will be greatly missed by those that knew and loved her.
