To my Martha Mo
I will miss you so much. My memories with you will always be so special. Being at your house with everyone and my cousins were the best times. I will miss you being there and telling us stories at the table.
Having you as my grandma was truly a blessing. Tell everyone up there we miss and love them.
May you rest with peace and light.
Love always,
Your little Erin

I met Mo when we worked at Gottschalks together in the customer service department for 4 years. She was my favorite co worker. I was always hoping she would be on the schedule so she could make me laugh while we wrapped presents. I was just thinking about her the other day and decided to look her up and I'm so sad to hear of her passing. She was such a light and brought so many memories and joy to my life. These pictures others have shared are truly the best representation of her. Always smiling and happy to be around others.

I will forever cherish the times we spent together. Your house is filled with memories, and all of us grandkids still talk about them today. The conversations we shared at the kitchen table and in the front room will always hold a special place in my heart.

Mom, I want you to know how much I love you and how deeply I'm going to miss you every single day. You've been my best friend and biggest supporter, and your love has meant the world to me. I'll carry your spirit with me always.

As a high school student I remember going over to the Morales home and it was just like our house. Martha always made us feel special and one of my favorite memories was she kept homemade tortillas in the kitchen cabinet. Always in the same place and always so good. Martha always greeted us with a smile. Thank you Mrs Morales ( Martha Mo) for loving us all
