To the entire Zubia Family,
We were all saddened to hear about Tia YaYa. She was a nice and kindhearted person. She always liked a good laugh over a cup of hot coffee. Her memories will live on through her children and grandchildren. Our deepest condolences and may God bless all you through this difficult time. May God’s grace surround all her family and that the void she leaves be filled with peace and love.
“Adios Tia y descansa en paz y que Dios la tenga en los cielos”
Con amor y con mucho carino, Alejandro y Betty Nunez y familia,

Dear Family,
I’m so sorry to read about your dear mom’s passing. I learned to so love both her and Tacho while working in the Las Vegas Temple with them, and have taught many of you kids in school too. My deepest sympathies go to you all. Con mucho amor! Val Smith
