She is remembered for her love of family, her endless vivacious smile, regardless of the changes life presented. She always had a hug for family and a soulful laugh that lightened the room. She was tolerant beyond expectation, and forgiving of those she loved. She was a devout Catholic and practiced her faith to the end. Her family will miss her immensely.
She taught us much of the human condition, the need for tolerance and patience in dealing with crises in life.
Vaya con Dios mi vida. Mi amor. Siempre, siempre Graciela
