Iris Cruz, beloved daughter, sister, aunt, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend.  Known as “Ita” or “Mami” by many, but loved by all. She grew up with less but made the most out of everything, and cultivated a family full of love. Always giving of herself, generously and effortlessly, with plenty of hugs and red lipstick wearing kisses, and a full plate of a home cooked meal for whoever needed or wanted it. She was an Angel among us, and is eternally loved and treasured by all she came in contact with. To have known her was to love her.

A great patriarch AND matriarch she was to us all; God could not have chosen a better one for US.
