Monica Cabrera de Aldape

In Loving Memory of Monica Cabrera de Aldape Monica Cabrera de Aldape was born on July 15, 1954 in Mexico City and passed away peacefully on September 12, 2023 at the Aurora House Foundation in Weslaco, Texas. Moni, as she was known to all, has left a void in our hearts that can never be filled. She was a beloved daughter, wife, mother, and friend. When Monica lived in Mexico City, she married Francisco Armando Aldape and they had one child, Francisco Jesus Aldape Cabrera. She was a hard working woman, an extremely gentle and caring mother who always wanted to help and provide for her family. For the past 25 years, Monica found a home in Mercedes, Texas with the Muñoz-Lorenzana family. Moni's dedication to caring for the family was a testament to her generous spirit. She not only tended to the physical needs of our mother but also provided emotional support that was truly invaluable during our family's most challenging moments. Her kindness and patience were unwavering, and her patience was a source of solace for us all. Moni was guided by her deep Catholic faith, having studied at Fray Martin de Valencia, a Catholic school for girls, and living very close by to the Basilica of Our Virgin of Guadalupe, she was very devoted to our “Morenita del Tepeyac”. When she moved to the United States, she was a devout member of Our Lady of Mercy Church in Mercedes. Moni is survived by her son, Dr. Francisco J Aldape, her brother, Emilio Cabrera Sandoval and his wife Maria De Los Angeles, her numerous cousins, nephews, and nieces. Moni is also survived by the Munoz-Lorenzana family and many close family friends, who became endeared to her over the years.
