Amelia was a dedicated wife and mother first and foremost. She was the rock and role model for her family. She especially loved her role as Nana and Tia. She had a vivacious personality; she had the gift of hospitality and service; she was a leader, and she was a hard worker. However, above all else, her legacy will be her love for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and her service to Him.  Amelia Hernandez was a prayer warrior. She believed that prayer changes things. She loved the Word of God and taught it for 26 years. She lived Matthew 6:33: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Amelia Hernandez was greeted in heaven by the words: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Mathew 25:23.
