Alma~I know you left us all with a full heart. You were so loved and respected by many for your loving, caring, giving, selfless heart. Trust me when I say, you will NEVER be forgotten, you have touched so many that you will be alive in their hearts and minds forever!!!
I remember the last time we got to sit and chat was at a benefit bbq for Johnny M. and there you were going through the middle of your cancer battle to support him, all the while with a big smile on your face. You kept asking about me and other family members and how they were~that was you, ALWAYS thinking of others. GOD BLESS YOU ALMA. Till we meet again XoXo

I am so sad for Alma passing. I was in ROP Architecture with her and we were the only two girls in that class. Alma had a quiet nature about her, but no one messed with her in that class. She was so smart and I knew she would be something in this world. I admired her in that class and would of loved to have been her friend. I can still see her sitting there in at the drafting table so stoic!
