"I didnt see Chat as often as I would have liked. Actually, in the last so many years, it seemed like the only time wed see each other was at a funeral. The last time I saw her was at my cousin Louis funeral. We had a little dinner at my house afterwards and Chat and Ray came by to be with the family. She was her usual loving, caring, supportive self. Her voice alone could make you feel her love. She was truly one of the nicest people I have ever known. She was definitely one of a kind. My heart hurts for Ray, the kids, and grandchildren. I send my love and prayers to them and may God continue to be with them in their time of need. -Diane Zuno (One of Linda Jos daughters)"

"My cousin Chat was such a special person she had so much love to give I thought I had some awesome memories with her however as I sat in the waiting room with all the family everybody was just talking about how awesome she was how loving she was what type of a person she was and I came to the conclusion that all these memories when I was young I thought I was so special because the way she treated me but come to find out she was like that with everybody so you see I was just one out of of a million people she made feel so special ishe just touched my heart she just was a woman with so much love and you know what God talks about in the Bible is love so I was literally blessed to have known her I will miss you I love you cousin:heart::innocent:"

"I dont even know where to start....There is absolutely no way to describe the pain we are all in.From the oldest down to the babies even they feel the loss.I always say there is no perfect person BUT she came pretty damn close.For all her knew her,her favorite was Cinderella and her loved ones would bestow all types of Cinderella gifts.As my brother said anyone who went to Disneyland would bring her something back.Well my point is that I dont think she realized that she was the fairy godmother to a lot of people.A lot of people choose her( myself included ) her to be godmother to their children.She even confirmed me ;).However I think those that werent baptized communion or confirmed by her still thought of her as their fairy godmother.I dont think she even realized the legacy she would leave behind.I honestly could go on and on but I dont think id Leave room for anyone else to leave a post...So my sister my heart ,my life is forever changed I will miss you everyday until its my turn to rest and be annoyed when I cant remember a family story or a persons name ( cousin Johnny :wink:) and I cant call my almanac to get the info:pensive:.Big brother , Ray Anthony ,Anita,Cristina,Daren,Lil Ray,Alyssa,Nick,Alyssa& Christian my most deepest deepest sympathy AND ALL MY LOVE........Karen"

I must say that my cousin Chata was loved and supported by a great husband Ray.
