Maria Elena Castillo (Pee Wee), 65, of Aurora, died peacefully at home, and went to be with her Lord on August 17, 2006, with her loving husband and sons at her side.

Maria was a wonderful, loving, and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She will be greatly missed and always in our hearts. This is not a "good by" only that we will see each other again in Heaven and you will be standing waiting for us with open arms saying "Welcome Home!"
