Blanca Rosa Ayala

Blanca was my older sister who I will never forget. As a child, both Mom and Dad were understandably busy trying to make ends meet for their growing family in a new country. Blanca would aways either cradle me or take a hold of my hand. This bond never withered or wore down. In fact it got stronger. I am so happy that my big sis is no longer in pain, but is running full of laughter in the presence of Our beloved Lord Jesus.

Blanca was more than a sister to me. She was on average 10 years older me and my brothers so she helped my mother raise my brothers and myself. So growing up ir wasn’t a brother and sister relationship it was more like a mother son relationship. I miss her so much.

I still can’t believe I will no longer be able to see my beautiful friend Blanca or call her on the phone. She was an amazing woman always helping others and rescuing animals. Her faith in God was very strong as was the love for her family. I know she is now a precious Angel with no more pain and suffering in God’s and Jesus presence. Until we meet again Blanca.

Blanca,
We will miss your wit, your strength and your example of faith. We will remember you always as a loving aunt, sister and friend.

With respect,
Jaimes, Melea, Quinn and Atticus Meyer-Ayala

I met Blanca 12 years ago when we came to rent her house. I remember she wasn’t there as she had spent 2 weeks in the hospital. Later on we got to know each other and grew a friendship. Even when we moved homes our friendship continued. We would visit each other often. I would alert her that i was outside and she would receive me with a hug. I would share food with her and have long conversations. Every Christmas Blanca would bring my family and I gifts, something my daughter appreciated greatly. I will miss the days when Blanca and I would converse for hours over the phone, typically talking about politics and religion, something she enjoyed sharing with me. She would talk to me until her dogs would start barking, she would then tell me it was time for her to go as she needed to take paquita and sox out for a walk. She loved her animals. Blanca was a strong, independent and generous woman. I miss her so much, but at the same time I am content that she is at peace, no longer suffering, and that she is in the presence of God. My condolences to the whole family.
