My exiles friend. Maritza Vila. We lived in the same building when we were exiles from Cuba. I came in Jan 6 , 1967 and moved to 
1560 sw 5 st by September , Miami , Fl. We both went to 
Miami Sr High school the fall of September 1967 to 1970. Because of her I met the father of my children. She was at my wedding in September 30, 1973. Maritza move to Guadalajara, Mexico so we went apart. I have reunited with her when she married her husband from Mexico, I am sorry I don’t have any pictures. Somehow we Lost touched  until she was pregnant  and I was pregnant to my second child . Somehow we lost track of each other . I was really sad when found out she was gone. I loved her as a friend and more. I’m so sorry I never got in touch with her all this year. I love you Maritza! ❤️‍🩹

The last time we saw each other was back in 1985. She was pregnant and she came to meet my second child Cristina. No se porque we lost contact once again. Maritza and I lived in the same building 1560 SW 5 street from Sep 1967-1970 . I do remembered well la abuelita that also lived with them. We even went to the same school Mia Sr High school class of 1970. Our mutual friends was Anita, Norma y Gisele . We shared happy moments in our simple youth back in the days of Cuban refugees. 
 I even met my ex husband Benjamin thru her.  Made me so sad to hear the news of her passing. My heart is broken💔 Always thought we will see each other again. Mis respeto a sus padres y hermano,  su esposo, sus hijas y nietos.   💜

We’ll always remember you with your beautiful smile 

Dear Eduardo and daughters,
Sorry for such a big loss. She was a great pediatrician and when she was my resident she was the best and always ready to help.
She will always be in our hearts

Estimado Eduardo Rivas y familia .                             Que lamentable noticia. Vickie y yo estamos en el Santuario de Lourdes Francia cuando recibimos la noticia. Maritza, siempre fue una gran profesional y un excepcional ser humano. Ella me tendió la mano en un momento de mi vida sin trabajo y me dio la oportunidad de aprender con ella. Siempre la recordare con cariño, admiración y respeto. Mi más sentido pésame a usted y toda la familia pero no podremos hacerlo personalmente como quisiéramos hacerlo. Lo que haremos mi esposa y yo es rezar y orar desde este Santuario Mariano por el alma eterna de Maritza en el cielo. Amén                           Eduardo y Vickie Balbiani .
