  6. My Great G. Ma words can’t describe how much I love and care for you. It says 99 but in my heart I believe you made it to 100 they forgot you were in the womb for 9 months. You lived like the people in the Bible times that gives me no more of a reason to KNOW that you were an Angle Sent here to bless me with this Chardon family. You were set here for a reason and I believe that you fulfilled the purposes that our Jesus has set upon your life. I can tell you how much I love you but only one person can tell you and show you better and he loves you way more than anyone can describe to you that is our God. He was tired of having you down here so he wanted you closer so you can begin the tasks he has planned for you in Heaven.Grand Ma you are not alone, your spirit lives in me and many more, keep my dad Ricardo Cruz Chardon and the Chardon family strong, ask Jesus to keep an eye on each and everyone of us. Yo Te Amo Mucho Mas <3 Your Grandson Jordan Cruz Chardon.

  10. Our deepest condolences to my family.Because of titi Rafaela and my cuzn Orlando her son in 2002 I discovered that my uncle Antolin Cruz was laying in a hospital bed in Lowell,MA after a slip & fall at his home.My aun’t was devastated that her bro who was 80 yrs old was admitted to Blairhouse Nursing & Rehab in Tewksbury and her bro’s wife Milagros Vazquez never called to tell his family that he had fallen. Attorney’s took the initiative to file a slip&fall accident in his behalf worth $450,000.00. My uncle never received one cent from the lawsuit and because of false legal representation my uncle nor myself had the means to be at my aun’t funeral. Rafaela was Antolin’s last living sis. DePalma Law Offices of Lowell, MA thanks for nothing from 4/9/2002 to 4/9/2005.

  11. I love my Grandmother so much. She was much more than a Grandmother to me. She was my Mother. She taught me so much and she loved my kids like crazy. She will be missed but she lives on through all of us.
