Our sweet beautiful Mother, Wife, and Grandmother was an elegantly simple person who truly dedicated her life to her family. Her unwavering love & devotion was her gift to us. Life was often scary for her. But in spite of this, when Castro came into power in Cuba, she left her country, everything she had, her family (including a twin sister), and a very comfortable life, so my brother & I could live in a free country and find happiness. This, to me, is real courage. Her love for us & our love for her was true and pure. We were truly lucky to have had her for so long. I believe she accomplished one of the greatest things we are here to achieve, to love and be loved.
Te queremos mucho
May peace be with you
