Never Question A Police Daughter When It Comes To The Integrity Of Her Dad Shirt, hoodie, tank top

Her family saw it as a cute nuance from an immigrant who never really learned English, Sarahi Unzueta recalls of her grandmother, Filomena Castillo.

“Almost every time I called her or before leaving their house, I would yell out ‘love you!’ And she would respond, ‘you too,'” Unzueta recalled of her grandmother. “She obviously meant to say ‘me too,’ but we never really corrected her because it was innocent and cute.”

It was one of the many endearing qualities Castillo’s family will always remember of the woman taken from them in October by COVID-19.

An English language barrier never kept Castillo from communicating encouragement to her family, Unzueta said.

“My Grandma always encouraged my mom to move forward. If my mom wanted to take a class or work, my grandma always offered to take care of me,” Unzueta. “That is the main reason why I always stayed with my grandparents.”

In her heart, Castillo, who moved to Hammond in 1985, was a feminist, always motivating her children and grandchildren to push forward and achieve in spite of social barriers.

Castillo had an adventurous spirit as well, with a zest for travel to Italy, the Holy Lands and various locations throughout the United States, Unzueta said.

And she always had time for her family, helping to raise Unzueta when her mother and father were working long shifts with conflicting hours.

It meant Unzueta practically lived with her grandmother for much of her childhood.

The two were especially close.

As Castillo became older and was able to travel less, Unzueta would stay in close contact with her grandmother, sharing details and photos so Castillo could travel vicariously.

Castillo also would regularly talk about the poverty she knew in her native Mexico, using it as a a teaching moment for her family.

It likely enhanced her zeal for good food, cooking for her family and the wonders of Chinese fast food, Unzueta said.

A conversation about the finer points of Panda Express was one of the last Unzueta can recall having with her grandmother. The memory brought a deep smile to Unzueta’s face during a recent recollection.
