Angel Lucy's Funeral Home
Alicia Rodriguez Torres was born on June 21st in Falfurrias, Texas. In her 92 years of life, she raised 8 children as a widow and fostered 14 more in a single-parent household. Allowing her strength, compassion, and most of all selflessness to shine. She was always able to help neighbors, friends, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She was the historian of the family, telling us stories from her past so we can tell those stories to our future generations to come. She infused love into everything she did. In her cooking, singing sweet nothings to our babies with the most beautiful voice, singing and dancing with mariachis, cheering us on at any sporting event, taking care of us, making our blankets to remind us of her, and teaching our children Pretty Eyes. She created this Legacy for all of us to continue. For her to live through each one of us. Although we have a huge hole in our hearts, each time we cheer for family and friends, sing sweet nothings to our babies, cook for our loved ones, sing along with mariachis, or tell stories about our past; you can be sure to feel and hear pieces of her, knowing each one of us is continuing her legacy through each of us.
She was the matriarch of the Torres family. Her legacy is generations. She was a faithful servant and lived a beautiful life. She was a joyful hug, fresh homemade tortillas, our safe place, and danced like no one was watching. Her eyes lit up when she recalled beautiful memories and she seemed to see the beauty in all things and situations. Her life was not always easy, it was at times very difficult, but she didn't allow her love to diminish-she just kept dancing.
Let us honor her by choosing gratitude each day. When we awake in the morning, may we meet the day with the same vigor and passion for life she did. . . and most of all, when life becomes heavy as it often does, just keep dancing.
