San Antonio, TX

Noelle I am blessed and thankful that I can retire and claim San Antonio home. For the next sixteen years, you blessed me with your presence. You popped out your dad's jacket, Merry Christmas! Noelle, you're just about a year old, you crawl onto your dads shoulder and he drives you half way across Texas to show you off. There was no one who could refuse your charm. We take you to where we were born and raised. He introduces you to his parents, Ken and Connie, they loved you, of course. You see the stretches of beach, we set you down on the sand and off you go as fast as your shorty little legs can take you. So much energy for such a little dog. When I took you for walks, you just kept wanting to go farther than the boys, so curious. Just a show off, swishing those back hips. You are such a Texan (for a Chinese pug), the backyard swimming pool, beaches, camping at Canyon Lake, glamping on the shore of Calaveras Lake, and jet skiing? Yeah, check it out, please. Really. We will never forget. Ah, thank God for South Texas. Baby girl was the best mother. I mean a litter of eight, I know! I watched them being born. And, her Mr. Daddy dog too, watching the newborns. Vet said watch mom and dad they could fight. Not you. Not Nickolas. A match made in heaven. You went from a princess to a Queen, I mean, having to feed you by hand? Spoiled! And, you think Luby's is not for dogs? Is it can food, chicken breast, maybe lean burger? What do you prefer this mealtime? Eat. You need your insulin shot. We watched you for years continue your daily routine and I don't believe that slowed you down. The DM spinal problems, cataracts and visual problems, and diabetes, you fought through those. You blessed us, you working though your difficulties in your last years. Loving us as we loved you with all our hearts. So, we thank you baby girl. God gave us the best Christmas present, ever. Love you baby girl. Go to sleep and I'll see you in the morning

Obituary for Maria Socorro Encarnacion Diaz We are sad to announce the passing of Maria Socorro Encarnacion Diaz "Coca" of San Antonio Texas. Maria died at age 95 on December 6, 2023. Maria passed away surrounded by her loved ones. She is survived by her loving husband of 73 years Abraham Diaz. Her children include: Aurea Diaz Calderon, Nereida Diaz Ortiz, Evelyn Diaz Johnson (Deceased), Manuel Diaz (Deceased), and Virginia Diaz Singleton. Her passing reunites her with Evelyn and Manuel. Besides her children she leaves behind 9 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren , and 3 great-great grandchildren (wow). She was a devoted Church member who would volunteer to cook and provide meals for church events. Maria was born in Puerto Rico during an era where women were not afforded the opportunity to pursue an educational curriculum beyond elementary school. However, with her persistent nature she was able to graduate High School and briefly attend College, "a testament to her resilience and drive. Maria and her Husband Abraham, migrated from Puerto Rico to New York in the latter part to the 1950's, in search of the American Dream. They struggled to make ends meet but never gave up or allowed hardships to compromise their family values. With a lot of hard work and drive, the family was eventually able to achieve their goal of purchasing a house in New Jersey. During the mid 1980's the family decided to relocate to San Antonio, to begin a new phase in their lives in a more accommodating climate. Again, they experience some transitional difficulties, but were able to overcome the obstacles, and succeed. They eventually purchased a home in San Antonio through hard work, deep faith, and a persistent attitude. Maria's memory and legacy will live on through the achievements of her loving and devoted children who will continue to share the love, devotion, wisdom instilled in them by her teachings.Show more
