Margie, I was your daughters age when I first met you. I helped with the Child Care and was a teachers aid at GCCA and Melissa was one of my favorite kids to be with. I remember you always talking to my mom. I didnt talk to you much other than a quick conversation, 'hi, how are you, the family...." But I do remember being around you and feeling this blanket of peace. Years have passed and my life is still touched by you.Thank you for that Margie. <3

Margie, you were wonderfully made and born with a purpose. You enlightened so many of us with your optimism in life. You were a friend tonight those in need. I was going to see you after your surgery, but God called you before I could make it. Nonetheless,  I cherish the wonderful, crazy times we shared together and will always hold you close to my heart.

My Cuz and my friend, I will miss you so much, thank you for the love we shared and for being just a phone call away. That million dollar smile that you always had no matter what you were going through. God Bless You...... Love your cousin Evelyn Rodriguez (Roman)

Although it has been such a long time since we have seen eachother or even spoken, we have some great memories that will last a lifetime. My prayers are with your family.

I will always remember the good times we shared.  Margie was a strong, beautiful women.  May she rest in peace.

With respect and sincerity,  Barbara

Eliud, parents and family,

My dear friend.......
I was heartbroken to hear the news and I want you to know that I will miss you dearly. I'll remember your courage, kindness, your love for your daughter, family, and friends. 

My most sincere condolences to your daughter Melissa, Mom, brother and family.

A Better Place

She's in a better place right now
Than she's ever been before;
All pain is gone; she's now at rest;
Nothing troubles her anymore.

It's we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.

We know we'll reconnect with her
At the end of each life's road;
We'll see her cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.

Margie, you were a strong woman of faith.  We are missing you, but God needed you.  We will always cherish the moments we spent together!  Benny & Ivette

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear.  We share your grief.

Most faithful God, lively is the courage of those who hope in You. Your servant Marjorie Benitez suffered greatly, but placed her trust in Your mercy. Confident that the petition of those who mourn pierces the clouds and finds an answer, we beg You, give rest to Marjorie Benitez. Do not remember her sins, but look upon her sufferings and grant her refreshment, light, and peace. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Margie you are dancing in heaven!  

You touched so many with your strength, courage, faith and love of life. 

You are gone but will never been forgotten you live on thru your beautiful daughter Melissa.

Rest in heaven Margie, no more pain!

Love you, 
Cousin Tony, Laurie & Ashley

 Melissa,
Keep your head up sweetie the pain of losing a mother is never an easy burden, but she's watching over you every step of the way. Our condolences to you and the family<3

My Dear Prima,

You are a GREAT lost to our family. Always positive, always loving and caring, always giving out words of inspiration and encouragement. You were the type of person that no matter if someone had been in your life 5 minutes or your whole life you made them an important factor in your life. When it came to family whether they knew you or not you let it be known to them that you were family and demanded they show you love. We've always kept in contact throughout the years and since us both mocing out to Florida around the same time we only became closer. You were my person out here. The one to check up on me and my kids, who I would spend my time with, how we would vent and laugh all at the same time. We were planning my baby shower and our trip to Miami to finalize Melissa's party and now you're gone. It's only been a few days and I feel so alone already. You were suppose to walk again and we were going to start your driving lessons, so many plans and not enough time. You're in a better place now and I am envious that the heavens have you and we don't. I carry you in my heart always. I love you. Ari and Malachi miss you already.

Your prima Natalie

My dear Daughter, I know that live now in a better place, and I know you are going to watch of us from up there.And im always gonna love you for ever.You fought al these years for your daughter and she is really grateful for that. Now she is going to make you even happier and you are going to be more proud then what you were already. Love you for ever and always! <3

I'll always be your "chilly willy". :)

My dear Margie,
At last you've been set free from your pain.  You hurt no more.  Your spirit is soaring as it has been called home by God.  Now your free spirit watches over those you loved, especially your beaitful Melissa, and mom & dad and Junito.  You're another bright light in the sky, and a bright one you are! Just as you were here with all of us.  You're free at at last and at peace!  Yes, It hurts that you're gone and we will miss you  But we get to keep your memories, those cannot be taken away, we keep them forever until we meet again.  I love you Margie. I hurt knowing you were taken so soon, but God had another plan - a better plan -for you, and who I'm to wonder why you were taken so soon. In time it will all be revealed.  Now I take solace in knowing that there's another Angel in heaven to watch over us.  May you rest in peace dear Marjorie, til we meet again.  And may God bless your daughter Melissa, your parents and brother.  May time heal their pain and grant them peace in the knowledge that you're gone to a better place.  With pain in my heart I bid you farewell. Goodbye Dear Marjorie,  I love you!
