She took part in the Special Olympics and was awarded many times for her participation. She was crowned Miss Lady of Guadalupe in 1991. Alma was loved and cherished and was very blessed to have a long and happy life alongside her best friend, her father Macario Romero Sr, who sadly passed away just 2 weeks ago, his absence was too much for her heart to handle that she decided she would join him. They are together now and rejoicing with the Lord. She loved writing, doing cross word puzzles, coloring and listening to Radio KDNA with her father, together they did everything. She was happy just going to town with her daddy. She was lucky to have had a sister that loved her like a daughter and if she could move heaven and earth for her she would, she will be terribly missed. We love you Alma, until we meet again.
