Cresencia is always giving without the thought of getting.Cresencia loves her family above everything else. We know we can always count on her to be there in time of need. She is the best mother, the best wife, the best grandmother, the best great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She always puts everybody before herself. She always see the upside in everything and tries her best to put a smile on everyone’s face with not only her cooking, but her wicked sense of humor. Our family has been incredibly blessed because of our mother.
