Pilar was a wonderful wife, travel companion and friend to all. She had a heart of gold and she loved everyone without reservation. She truly was an angel walking on earth. She loved to sing and will surely be singing with angels in heaven. She loved taking pictures for memories and was a city girl who learned to love the country and living on a small farm near Raeford and planting flowers. She worked in Viet Nam for two years which became her ticket to the United States.

She was a great, wonderful, supportive, and loving sister to all her siblings. Her siblings would not all be here (US) if not for her. We thank God for giving us a sister like her. She was always a great sister, aunt, grandma, and great aunt. She will always be in our hearts and will surely miss her forever.
