Rosario Soriano Lopez

By Heart2Heart | Tributes | One Comment

Last night, God finally took my Lola, Rosario Soriano Lopez, and she joined my Lolo in heaven. My Lolo left her around thirty years ago and Lola stayed on with us to take care of all of us.

charinglopezeddielopez010277091910

She was the one who brought our family together and kept us united. We are truly blessed to have been given such a loving, simple and kind Lola to look up to. Lola was a very hard person to impress because she never asked for anything nor needed anything more than what she already had – which was her sisters and her family.

She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. We are similar in some ways – she loved cheese, she doesn’t talk much and we don’t like our photo to be taken – but she always let me take her photo 🙂

I am so happy that my children got to know their great grand Lola.

I never wanted to regret not being able to spend time with my Lola so I set aside my Saturdays for her. I will miss seeing her every Saturday but she will forever be in my heart She was 95 years old and lived a full and happy life. She is in heaven now

How beautiful the flowers Tita Nena and my sister, Maricar, prepared for my Lola today.

Closing up on the beautiful rosary which was made of Ecuadorian roses. My Lola always prayed the rosary and it was a very important accessory in her life. So closing up on the flowers, it is a rosary. Lola is Rosario or rosary and some would call her Rose- how fitting how it all came together Beautiful Ecuadorian roses in white and red

Bespoke Gifts and Gift Packaging

By Heart2Heart | Christmas | No Comments

Even Christmas presents are bespoke/personalized!! I really appreciate them because they are really made with LOVE 🙂 and made by the giver personally. It’s not only making the product, but choosing the packaging, printing the message and designing the sticker. Thank you Chut Cuerva for your Gianduja Spread! Homemade Cheese Pimento by Mel Francisco! YUM!!! And from my best friend, Rina. She did not make the Truffle Honey from Borough Market 🙂 But she carefully thought out the packaging 🙂 Even Packaging is BESPOKE! She bought the sack then had the stickers/labels made. Put it in a brown bag and also put together information about the product and pinned it with a mini clothes pinHomemade Almond Chocolate Chip cookies by my sister in law, Margs

My friend, Toots Magsino, printed cards with her collage works of art ( she also sold them) So nice to have that personalised touch from the giver
