About

A Very Nice Lady

Aida Herrera was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico and died in New York City at the age of 94.  She is survived by her sister, Carmen, her nephew, Wilfredo, her two nieces, Angie and Annie, her great nephew William and great niece, Amy.


My family and I knew Aida for many years.  I met Aida  and her family when I was just a little girl.  Our friendship goes back over 50 years. Her Mom babysat for both my brother and me for a while.  I grew up and went to school with her two nieces and nephew. She was a hard working and caring person.


Aida will be missed by her family, friends and all those whose lives she touched.  We thank God for giving us the opportunity of knowing such a kind and gentle person.


May she rest in peace with our heavenly father forever...Amen.

In Loving Memory of a Dear Friend

Joe Perales aka Papo Sep 01, 2008

With heartfelt condolences and affection, I extend my love to the Ortiz family during this time.

I have wonderful recollection of times shared with your aunt, Aida during my childhood years. I shall always cherish these memories fondly.

Our Titi Aida is gone but will never be forgotten...she will always live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Know that she is resting in peace forever in the palms of God's hands.

Your Nephew and family

Dearest TiTi Aida; Your sister Carmen misses you dearly as do all of the rest of us. This includes your nephew Willie and your nieces Annie and Angie. We know that you are bathing in the eternal light that is Heaven and have been re-united with all those who you love and have gone to their eternal rest before you. You were a truly wonderful person while you were here with us on earth. God will richly bless all your charitable works and hold you in his bossom. We rejoice in your joining your heavenly father and look forward to the day when we are re-united with you and all those we love in paradise.
May you rest in peace and may you enjoy the warmth on GOD's eternal love.

My Memory

Miriam Perales Aug 21, 2008

As a child I was always fascinated by the way she would put on her red lipstick to go to work and also by the many pairs of high heels that she had in her closet. I remember her letting me play grownup and letting me wear her high heels.

I also remember the time she took us all to visit her friend Naydi who lived in the Soundview area of the Bronx to see and play with his Lionel trains in the basement of the house. It was a real treat for us.

Although, as an adult I didn't get to visit with her much, I did call her occasionally to see how she was doing.

I will always treasure all the moments I was fortunate to share with Aida, her Mom and the rest of the family.



Memories Live Forever

It’s hard to say good-bye to someone that you love,

although you know they’re safe

with Jesus up above.



It doesn’t make a difference if they’re in their later years.

It only means more memories to carry through the tears.



Don’t let yourselves forget that we have numbered days.

For reasons we do not know,

God wanted it this way.



Tears wash away the pain, but it can’t remove the love.

The memories live forever safe

in God’s hands above.



So, today we give thanks for the lives we chance to share.

No matter if their short or long,

God always will be there.
