I remember meeting her during the first year of mine and my boyfriends relationship. She is the great grandmother to Giavonni LaPorta Escamilla and great she was and to me still is. Being the young age of 93 (or 92 I'm not completely sure) she had so much moxie and wit, with the best stories. It was hard to believe she lived the life she did during the years she lived it. I envy her wisdom and know she had a family who absolutely loved her and will forever sing her praises. Her granddaughter Gina is the definition of kindness and love, which i believe is something she garnered from her grandmother. Out of everything i thought of her the one thing i knew for sure is she loved life and she lived it to the fullest, never being pushed around by her sons neither looking "old" in any pictures she made sure to take off her glasses and raise her wine whenever the situation seemed appropriate to do so. I pray she is at peace and happy to know she is a loved inspiration. My condolences to all the lives she touched, her sons, her grandchildren, her great-grandchildren, and her friends. Cry for the life that has lost but celebrate the memories you take. I have love for you all <3
