CHAVEZ -- ADELINA G. In Memory of Adelina G. Chavez. October 13, 1912 - January 3, 1984. When God created you, dear one, He made a perfect thing: that sent a gust of joy through Heaven and made the choirs sing. He took a ray of sunshine and a bit of angel's smile. He dipped into the brightness of the cherubs' star-dust pile. He added sweetest fragrance from the rose bed of the sky, with a final dash of whiteness from a cloudlet passing by. If God had given me to choose my mother at my birth, I would have chosen you. Miss you, Gladys.
