I will always remember Titi Alicia for being such a soft spoken and loving person. She was definitely an angel on earth. I will always remember her calling Tio Robert “mi amor” and you can always see the love they shared with a simple gaze. May you rest in peace Titi. Love you always and forever.

My memories of Titi Alicia is witnessing the loving, soft spoken, elegant and respectful human being she was. How she adored her three daughters equally. There were no greater love for her than Tio Roberto “Her Amor” and her children. Her beautiful voice when singing her hymns songs. Titi there is no doubt you are in heaven! We will miss you! Please look in on Tio and the girls from time to time. Sleep in eternal peace Titi.
-Forever Loved. ❤️🙏🏽

Titi Alicia…. What can I say about a wonderful soul that hasn’t already been said? You greeted everyone with the warmest and sincere smile. I loved it when you would break out in song and Tio would join in. When my family would visit your home, after greeting us the first thing you would do was tell us about the new thing your girls learned and how incredibly proud you where of each of them. I could have been the smallest thing but in your eyes, it was the most magnificent accomplishment.
It was obvious in your smiling eyes the emense love and pride you felt in your heart for your family. Walking into your home was like walking into a different little world of Happiness.
As a child you knew how much I wanted a certain something for Church. When you and Tio visited us I heard the distinct ringing and of that object. You had it wrapped up like a Christmas present. You asked me to guess and I said “a tambourine!” You laughed and said how did you guess smart girl? My response was, “well Titi, first the way you wrapped it and you kept shaking it to make noise.” You burst out laughing. That was just one of many funny moments with you Titi. I’ll miss you and everything about the beautiful human being you were here on this Earth.

There is no words to express how bless was I to have
Met you. We went to church, on outings and on vacations. Even our husband and kids enjoyed our time together. One more thing, back them we didn’t have cell phones with Google, but you were my Google, my walking dictionary Lol, what i didn’t know, she knew. Thanks God for the wisdom he had bestow to her. She was very smart and intelligent.
There is a lot more I can write about my beautiful friend Alicia, but I will just say, “thank you God for the time we spend together” as friend and family!!

Sending our love and deepest sympathy to our Matos family. We had the blessing and privilege to share a granddaughter and two great granddaughters with Alicia. We were welcomed into the Matos family with mutual love and respect. It’s a beautiful blessing to be part of such a loving, caring family. We remember fondly the love and devotion Alicia had for her husband, her daughters and her granddaughters. Alicia didn’t just love her family, she loved God and served Him well. I remember Alicia and Roberto driving others to and from church so they could all worship. She was God’s angel and for that reason I know she is resting in peace in the arms of our Lord.

It is with deep sadness I write about Alicia. Her love for her husband and family was very obvious it showed in everything she did. She took pride in her home quite a decorator. We had lots of fond memories from our trip to Pittsburgh and our crackers, jelly, cheese and tea. Rest in Peace 🙏🏽 I
