Eileen M Sandoval Montoya Tribute

My mother was such a strong women.  She married young to my father Henry Perez and had four children, Ralph, George, Steve and Me (april).  Later she divorced and married Fred Montoya father of 3 children Tami, Terry and Tina, which has now become one large family and she loved all of us children.  We grew up togther living in a small house in Norwalk, California and sometime later moved into a house still on Norwalk but a little further because our family was to big for such a small house.  She raised us to always know family comes first and keep your door open when someone needs help.  We lived at that Silverbow house for many years I know thats the house I remember most because mom would take us kids to the beach in a large white station wagon with every kid on the block.  Our house was the house to be at since we had most of the kids.  Our family would go on huge vacations together it was the greatest times ever.  We all started to grow up and move out as we got older but since I was the youngest I was the last to leave.  That house I love so much because we were so much like that house, my dad Fred designed so much of it and it reflected who we were.  We would listen to so much music my mother loved music she would dance with my dad in the living room and then dance with me.  Singing and laughing like nothing could touch us.  The family get together were the best in our back yard as you will see several photos of once I was loaded them in.  My mother was the greatest mother because she loved us for who we were no matter what we became.  Like all familys we had good times and bad times but my mother always mad things better.  Tou know my favorite memory of my mom is when i was a young teenager I would watch her put her make up on and do her hair and it would just memorize me how simple and beautiful she was.  I can just go on forever about her and I will share many more times with her as time comes as will my family.
