A very special thank you and much gratitude, to her personal caregiver, Diana Montanez and to all of Sulema's friends & family that loved her.
Sulema, was a Guadalupana and attended Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, where she volunteered for many years. She played the piano, took care of her precious German Shepherd " Rex," and continued to drive till she was 91! She loved tilling her garden of roses and touring the surrounding countryside to see the green fields and blooming flowers. But most of all, she loved hosting and visiting with her friends and family.
When interviewed by the local newspaper on her 101st birthday, Sulema gave this advice to the residents of Seguin, " Life is precious and goes by quickly. I would encourage citizens to take time to visit residents in assisted living facilities. It can sometimes get lonely. I know I looked forward to visits from my family every day. "
