I am saying good bye to a dear friend. Chotes had been a friend to my parents and to me and my daughter for many years. She will be remembered for being thoughtful, and generous. She was smart, and loving, and she had a great sense of humor. I can say I always had fun when we were together. Rest in peace and in comfort. I know she has a home with Our Lord. Good bye Chotes, till we see each other again.

Ralph, family, and friends. My heartfelt sympathy in your loss of Chote. Chote worked for my Uncle Santo at Fredwell then for me at Easton Hospital. My Uncle and I would share stories how caring, kind, thoughtful, funny, and such a hard worker. I also remember how inseparable she and Ralph were. I am so sorry sending prayers and hugs. Chote thank you for the person you were and may you Rest In Peace.
