Esmeralda will be remembered for her sassy, loving, free spirit.  She was a very expressive young woman who loved being with her family and friends.  She often expressed her love for life and the love of others through hugs. In return, she was easy to love.  Her caring nature extended to animals, especially cats, and she once proudly helped deliver a litter of kittens.

She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Cipriano Meyo; an uncle, Laurencio Romero; and great-grandmothers, Candelaria Carmona; and Patricia Meyo.
