Love knows no boundaries, and it is true of the life Irma Alicia lived. I met Irma when I first entered the Franco family in the late 60s. Irma was about twelve years old.  She was smart, loving and always greeted everyone with her infectious smile. Irma soon asked me to be her sponsor for Confirmation. I was proud to attend the sponsor meetings with her and stand with her at her Confirmation Mass. There began our close bond.

Irma was dedicated to both her family life and career. She worked diligently to complete her studies and soon became a young registered nurse. Irma was ever so proud at her pinning ceremony with all of us there to cheer her on! 

Years later, when Irma and Steve married in their Catholic faith, she asked me to participate in her wedding Mass.  Irma was absolutely beautiful, and I felt emotional, honored, and blessed to be able to celebrate this loving couple. 

Without a doubt the posted obituary does not capture the essence of this remarkable woman. Irma was the kindest woman I have ever known. Despite her physical pain she endured at times, Irma always entered a room with grace, smiling, and gave you her undivided attention. Days before Julia’s funeral services she was in the hospital, but unselfishly she did not want anyone to know. It was just like Irma not to want any attention to be taken away from Julia.

Her creativity was amazing. Irma sewed, baked, and created plenty of handicrafts. If you were lucky, you enjoyed her sweet cakes and cookies. She was as sweet as her treats! 

It is still unbelievable you are gone.  The last time we saw you was at Julia’s funeral; who would know it would be our last.  Even though we were all mourning the loss of our dear Julia, we were thrilled you joined our family table at the reception. We enjoyed our margaritas, and you were thrilled you got to sit next to Joaquin. We will miss you my sweet Irma. Your light and joy will never be forgotten. May you rest in peace and love, your Nina. 

Dear Franco family,
I met Irma many years ago when her brother Victor and my sister Gloria started dating. She and I had to be eleven or twelve years old. I remember her sweet smile and her funny laugh. Later when our siblings got married, we attended many family functions together. Irma was always kind, loving, and happy. Even when we hadn’t seen each other in a while, we visited with each other as if it was only yesterday that we had last seen each other. I was fortunate to sit with Irma at Julia’s funeral reception. We had so many laughs! Irma’s strong faith in God was something I admired. I know she is resting peacefully in the loving arms of our Lord. Our condolences to the family 💜 Bobby and Renee Segura 

Dear Tia Irma,

We love you.

We thank you for being an intelligent, thoughtful, and nurturing human being.

You loved Steve and Sunny and Kennedy and Greyson with all of your heart. Your unwavering love for your family, and for all Francos, is an example to us.

Attached is a picture of a bear charm you sent us.

Mayra and Ethan bake together now with the supplies you provided.

We hope you rest in eternal peace.

Love,
Mayra, Ethan, and Josh

Tia Irma, 
My memories of you are sweet, because they always involved your smile and an offer of my favorite treat, carrot cake! My mom knew you would, every year, bake me a cake. The love and care you took made me always feel so special and I would always see my mom smile when you would make your sweet treats. I remember meeting Steve and time spent together at your place. I remember you always being so sweet, gentle, kind and understanding. You were always tasking and telling me positive things about my future endeavors. Always with a smile. I’ll truly always remember your smile and kind nature. I love you. 
Your nephew, 
Stephen 

Dear sis Irma, 

I still can’t believe you are no longer on earth with us. It feels like dejavú.
Yolie, Julia and now you are in heaven also.

You were a loving, caring, sweet and a thoughtful sister. You always put others before yourself. You were selfless to a fault.

All your personal personality traits will be missed. I will .. I do…miss receiving your cards, your texts and phone calls. 

Holidays will never be the same without your cookies and banana nut bread. Carlos and I will miss our bday cakes … Pineapple upside down cake and my German Chocolate cake. 

We had so many plans… GOD  decided otherwise.

May you rest in peace 🙏🏽💎❤️

We ❤️ You! 

You will always be our Diamond in the Sky! 😘

Mom, 
You are without a doubt the most beautiful person in the entire world…both inside and out. I miss you so much! Sometimes it’s so consuming that I feel like I can’t move. Other times I think about a funny memory of you, or your smile, or think of you hugging me or blessing me before I went on a long drive or took a test during nursing school, or went on a job interview and I feel a sense of calm. It is in these moments that I know you are with me, and it is these moments I wish would last forever. I love you forever and always mom 💜

My condolences to Irma's daughter & grandchildren on behalf of myself & my Husband. Louie & Martha Alvarado. I was a friend of Irma's in high school we graduated from Dominguez High School. Through the years we would see each other once in awhile at parties or a family gathering of mutual friends. I know she loved her family very much & I am sure she will surely be missed  & was loved very much by all her family and friends. May she Rest in Peace.
