September ‘22: Mom started asking for a dog. We found it pretty strange since she has always been a cat person. We thought it was just a phase, but nope… she pretty much asked for a dog everyday until dad finally gave in.
October ‘22: Dad adopted a dog for her, mom named him Billy. 2 weeks later mom went in to the hospital and never went home. I know in my heart, all along she wanted a dog for my dad to occupy him when she was gone. She was always looking out for her loved ones.

To my mother-in-law Olga,
Your name means holy and blessed
We've seen that in you in your time with us, even now as we lay you to rest
I can't believe I only knew you in three and half short years
Yet here I stand fighting back so many tears
You made such as beautiful daughter during your time here in life
One that I am lucky to now call my wife
I remember the day she took me to first meet you,
You looked at me the same way she first did with wide eyes and a big smile, as you called me mijo.
You had a smile that could light up the room
And a laugh one could hear from the moon
A love like no other
I'm so proud I got to call you a mother
I nick-named you "speed racer"
Because you were so quick on your walker
Stood at 4 foot seven inches tall
Yet nothing could stop you at all
I loved the way you loved Mr. Lira,
Never left his side through the thick and thin
Always looking for him
As you yelled, CHON!!
Holding his hand, everywhere you went
A love so strong, nothing to regret
Raised two children, to mirror your love
Now you'll watch them all, from up above
You fought so hard these last few years to see your soldier son come back home to Austin, your daughter get married, and your husband become a U.S. citizen. As well as your great-grand babies.
Olga, mom, we will miss you more than words can say,
But not nearly enough as the love you have shown for every person that's here for you today.
Thank you for raising the woman of my dreams. I will love your daughter with my whole heart, all my life and I will always be here to take care of the Lira family.
Your only son-in-law,
-Amador Jr.

The Day She Dies
The day she dies a piece of you will die too.You’ll learn this is a piece that you cannot fill. It is a piece that cannot be replaced by anything, ever.
The day she dies you’ll stop breathing for a moment too. You’ll wonder how the world around you continues to go on.
The day she dies you’ll start a new life. Your new life will be motherless. It will be different than before, in the most painful and heartbreaking way.
The day she dies you will look around and question everything. You’ll question your faith, your last words, and every moment you spent away from her. Your questions will never be answered, but keep asking anyway.
The day she dies you’ll be in complete disbelief.You will refuse to accept this reality but it will stay with you. One day the debilitating reality will sink in. This day is just as bad as the day she dies.
The day she dies you will be frozen with heartbreak, confusion and terror. You will develop new anxieties and fears you never had before. Some days these new fears will be debilitating.
The day she dies, you become an adult. The kind of adult that doesn’t have a mother. That is a different kind of adult than before, trust me.
The day she dies you will long for her hug, her kiss, her time and her presence. This longing never goes away.
It stays with you, but so does she, because…
The day she dies you gain the most beautiful angel. You can’t see her, but she is there, just as she promised.
The day she dies you will look around and be grateful for all of the people there supporting you and helping you pick up the pieces. The people that show up are your people. Never forget the ones that showed up, they are special.
The day she dies you’ll learn that you loved so hard, so deeply, so purely, that you will now grieve hard because of that beautiful love.
The day she dies you’ll learn that she loved you beyond measure. She mothered you more beautifully than any Hallmark movie. She believed in you more than you’ve ever believed in yourself. You’ll realize that she took care of you like you were the most precious cargo on the planet, even as an adult.
The day she dies you’ll realize, without hesitation, that she was the most amazing woman you’ve ever known and will ever know.
The day she dies you’ll appreciate her more than you ever have, and you’ll pray to have her back. Unfortunately, no prayers can bring her back. No wishes can make her appear.
So when she dies, remember her smile, remember her love, and remember her life.
Never forget her and everything that she was because the day she dies, you become her legacy
Chelsea Ohlemiller .

My Tía was the embodiment of tiny, but fierce. We all respected her immensely and not too sure I've accepted into reality that she is not here...even in those last days, when I would leave her hospital room, though I'm not sure she could hear me, upon leaving I would tell her, "bye Tía, see you later!" Ever the Mexican mama (because all your tías are your 2nd moms), my last speaking encounter with her was at the rehab/nursing facility this past November where my father currently resides...I popped over to her room to quickly say goodbye before I left the facility and her last words to me were classic Tía Olga, a sort of *regaño* /advice, "don't forget about your daddy!!! Take care of him." Me, chuckling, "yes, yes, I know!" I regret not giving her a hug that last time, but as we still all very much live in this fallout pandemic world, unfortunately kept a respectful, healthy/safe distance from my health-compromised tía. In my mind, I still thought, well I will see her soon enough, out of this place. Growing up, my childhood memory recalls spending several Sundays at their house in Montopolis, or they would come over to our house in Jonah. And without fail, we would always ask if we could spend the night...and I can still hear her voice telling Jessica, "no, besides, you didn't bring any clothes..." And quickly Jessica would say, "yes, I brought a bag..it's in the truck!" And my Tía Olga's face would change from nice to..."don't challenge me!" Classic! She will be missed!

To my grandmother …
Life with out you seems Physically impossible.
I’ve never had to sit and think of a day you wouldn’t be just a phone call away.
My whole life I looked forward to my yearly summer trips to Texas, because I knew all my favorites were there waiting for me. Ready to give me some of the best memories I hold. My brothers and I were very loved by you and we will never forget the feeling of your tiny in size yet large in love hugs
As my grandmother you taught me many things in life (like how to write my name, tie my shoes, and how to read) But the most meaningful lesson I learned from you was to be a great human being. Ask anyone! You have always been a light in peoples lives, been kind, and have always loved the hardest you could!
I can’t believe I even have to say this but I wish you were here. I wish I had one more opportunity to walk through your doors with you on the other side giggling and kissing my face like you always did because you missed me too!
My children sadly never got to meet and hug such a great grandma like you! But I know you’re up there hugging them in spirit.
I love you
Forever

Olga was a great friend in high school. We continued our friendship after graduation.When I had my first daughter I asked Olga and Chon to be godparents.My then husband didn’t know them but I told him about them. They baptized 2 more children. My comadre was always so kind and funny I will never forget her great person loving mother especially great wife to her husband.

My sincerest condolences to the family. My memory of my madrina was from my childhood. She would pick me up from school anytime I was sick. She was my emergency contact but she was so much more than that. I pray she rests peacefully in our lords kingdom.
