Message from Priscilla Tillman

Truly a beautiful soul, I'm so thankful to have had the privilege of calling you my grandma. I cherish the times we spent together. Although distance kept us apart, it made every moment spent together that much more special. It makes me so happy to know my son had the chance to meet you. I am greatful for that. A lot of times I find myself overwhelmed. Between being a good mom and just dealing with everyday life, it can be hard. I think of everything you've done. Raising all your kids, working hard, always helping someone in need. It really inspires me. You were a woman of faith and I know you're resting peacefully watching over us all. I'm glad I was there to tell you I loved you. I whispered in your ear and wasn't expecting a response. A few seconds later I heard you say it back and I could tell it took a lot to say those words. I will cherish that forever. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing you saw how truly beautiful you really are. Inside and out. You will always be in my heart grandma Vangy. We love you so much.

Forever,
Priscilla, Steven, & Hunter

I've been blessed to have such a wonderful person to share my life with for the last 14 years. Vangy was truly the most loving and family dedicated person I have ever met, I could not have had a better Mother-In-Law. I loved her like my own mother, and she always made me feel loved when in her company, she treated me as one of her own children as many others would tell you the same. Coming from a relatively small family compared to hers, I was somewhat overwhelmed when I first met the "family" but her charisma and beauty soon set me at ease and I settled in easily.

I'd like to share some personal memories I had with Vangy that I will cherish forever. The first was when I was for the first time introduced to home made tortillas (hers were the best I've had) and Chorizo. She served me a plate and me being ignorant to the family ways, I asked for a fork......boy did that get the laughter started. I was teased and joked about in the most loving manner ever. Look at the "white boy" she said laughing, then lovingly educating me on the proper way to tear and scoop the delicious Chorizo with the tortilla into my mouth.

I loved the way that when she was trying to get one of her children's attention, she would blurt out about 3-4 names before she finally arrived at the one she was addressing..... this made me laugh every time. She didn't even get my name right for the first year I was married to Linda but coming from her, I was touched that she made the effort to treat me as one of the family

Perhaps the defining moment for me when I realized just how nurturing, selfless and loving she was, was when Linda and I took Vangy and Joe on a camping trip with us to Yosemite. Me being an outdoor kinda guy, I thought...I'll bet they will love this, a little quiet time away from all the hustle and bustle of the normal everyday busiest schedule I have ever heard of. So there we were, nestled away in a beautiful quiet campground just enjoying some quiet time....so I thought. On the second day, I could tell that Vangy was getting restless, she was worried about her children, grandchildren and great grand children back at home, she couldn't sit still and I think the quietness was actually uncomfortable for her. It became apparent to me that Linda and I needed to get her back to her routine and fast. It was that moment that I realized....this woman LIVED for her family and couldn't stay away, and on the road home we went.

Undoubtedly the moment that made me most proud to be related to Vangy was when she hugged me goodbye after a weekend visit and she told me how much she loved me for taking such great care of her grandchildren (I was their step parent) and daughter, it made me cry.

One of the hardest working woman I knew was my Mother-In-Law. Im proud to say that I've learned a lot from her both spiritually and personally. She truly was an absolutely beautiful person both inside and out. Just tonight I was joking with Linda about it. The old wives tale is that when a man is interested in a woman, he meets her mother to see what she will look like later in life and dang! she was a fox, Angelic even.

In the weeks, months and years to follow there will be a lot of tears, hugs, stories and remembrance of one of the most amazing person to walk among us. I will hear her voice and know that she is watching over everyone that that had the pleasure of meeting her because that is the person that she was. She never hesitated to help someone in need, even if that help required sacrifice on her part but she was happy to do it.

Im comforted to know that I will once again be blessed to be in her presence in Heaven.

My only regret is that I didn't tell her how much I loved her more often, but Im hoping she knew anyway, Ive never been good with external emotion but she deserved more.

Join me in celebrating the life of a wonderful person and the woman I was proud to call mom.

Your Loving Son-in-Law
