Pilarita, Wilfredito (babitibabi) Maria Elena y Olguita.   Tia Pilar tenia 16 añitos cuando yo nací, fui, junto a Juan Rolando, corillo de gritar "Tio Wilfre"  cdo ni siquiera eran novios y el pasaba en la guagua para Caibarién...listos en la puerta desde temprano para cdo el pasara, con Tata asustada y que los abuelos no oyeran.....fui flower girl de su boda y lloramos como Magdalenas cdo nos mudamos para Santa  Clara...Siempre estuvo a nuestro lado en las buenas, en las regulares y sobre todo en las malas y muy dolorosas.....cómo la extraño, a pesar de hablar tanto con ella me  creía que era eterna y me iba durar toda la vida...físicamente se marchó, voló muy alto a encontrarse con los que se fueron antes, pero su alma vive y vivirá 
porque SOLO MUERE LO QUE SE OLVIDA y mi amada tía Pilar es INOLVIDABLE, y yo lo se porque YO LA VI PRIMERO.....BESITOS Y UN ABRAZO INFINITO. LOVE YOU


Mama Pilar, you have certainly left everlasting imprints in the hearts of many, me especially.  The phrase 'mi casa es tu casa' was written for you.  Everyone wanted to be at the Andreu Casita.  

You were certainly beautiful from the inside and out; a person of generous heart and elegant style.  You called it as you saw it and gave some of the best advice to us girls.  Thank you seems too small a words.  

As we celebrate your life, we will have so many memories to share about you, and many will make us explode in laughter.  I was remembering my infamous bistec de higado that I thought would be bistec de palomilla 😂  You will always live in these memories and in our hearts.  

My deepest condolences to my Andreu family.  RIP my dear Mama Pilar

Pilarita, Willie, Maria Elena and Olga, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was my favorite Moreira sister! She was so special. I loved her sense of humor. She always kept me smiling and laughing. Tia Pilar had a talent for radiating her joy of life. I love the memories we shared in Aurora. All the cousins together, even Paul who was so little going down the slip and slide with a cat. Those were precious times to share and remember. I enjoyed visiting with your Mom at her house and at Tia Elba's so much, although it wasn't often enough. Love you all and praying for you!

Tia Pilar:  You were a very dear and special person in my life. We always shared a very special bond and I will  miss you and the good times we had throughout the years.  May you Rest In Peace!  You are now with the Lord, your shepherd....
On behalf of myself, my husband  Georges and our children Michel, Philippe and Jennifer, we like to extend our deepest condolences and prayers to  my cousins Pilarita, Wilfredito, Maria Elena and Olguita and their extended families.  
Un fuerte abrazo , los quiere,
Zoilita

I want to extend my most sincere condolences to my dear cousins and their families.  Tia Pilar was such a significant adult in my life.  The summers I spent in her house with Tio Wilfred and my cousins was one of welcome, kindness, laughter and love.  Every weekend she and Tio packed  up the station wagon with food and 5 young girl cousins and headed for the beach.  I learned so much about Cuban culture in the beach lunches of galletas de Los Pinos Nuevo con jamon dulce, Malta, Jupiña and Ironbeer drinks.  Tia always had a joke and her laughter was infectious.  Her enormous smile and sparkling eyes always invited you in for a great story of her childhood, our family or even the cleanest dirty jokes ever!  
I would try so hard to participate in conversations with her in my broken spanish as a northern raised Cuban American.  She would say "Niña! que disparate estas tratando de decir?"  as my twisted words spilled out.  She'd laugh and make me laugh and then in that wonderfully comfortable zone of love I'd ask her,  "Can you tell me how to say it correctly?  I want to learn".     She would take the time to kindly correct me and continued to do so every time I asked her.  
I didn't see her for many years but I never forgot her kindness, especially when it came to improving my spanish speaking skills. She gave me the confidence and the interest to pursue speaking, reading and writing better spanish throughout my life.  She has always been there for me as my confidence, wherever I  was, even miles away speaking to other spanish speakers,   She was an  encouraging strength to ask without fear for help and to feel comfortable in expecting that I will learn more and will go further in communicating in another language.  Tia Pilar gave me that gift of love, that I will carry with me forever.  God bless her, I know she's brought the heavens a smile that lights up the skies and she's telling her cleanest dirty jokes and best stories about life.

Primero mis condolencias para la familia que descasé en paz abuela pilar 
De mi parte y de mi familia 
No se que decir en estos momentos cuando te enteras de una noticia triste pero si puedo decir que el cariño y el amor y el gran aprecio que siempre tendré a pilar tanto cómo a su hermana gloria será por siempre 
por más 10 años que tuve la oportunidad de conocerlas y conocer a su familia y cómo Plomero poder ayudarlas en los problemas que se le presentaban en su hogar siempre recordaré esos momentos que cuando llegaba y me iba siempre me pedía que le diera un beso siempre muy atenta siempre mandaba que me hicieran café o un cortadito siempre preguntaba por mi familia y por mi papá que estando de visita hace unos años tuvo la oportunidad de un día que fui a su casa para un trabajo de conocerlo 
Cuando pasaba mucho tiempo sin ir a su casa  me llamaba solo para saludarme y saber de mí esas son las cosas que te hacen sentir sin  ser familia sin mencionar el gran amor que brindaba por su carácter especial es esa abuela que uno siempre gustaría tener así lo sentía por todos estos años donde tuve la oportunidad de conocerla y que entró en mi corazón 
descansa en paz Pilar Andreu siempre te recordaré Orlando tu Plomero extrañare ir a tú casa y a ti también I love you forever 


I have known Pilar since I was a little girl; she was married to my cousin Wilfredo. Remember her as a women strong in her faith. Dedicated to her family and always very elegant. May she share in God’s eternal light. Her presence will be missed. Prayers for her eternal soul and for the family. May she Rest In Peace. 

I was blessed to have such a loving mom for so long. She taught me many things and gave me unconditional love. 

In this picture Mom is wearing a crochet shawl I made for her. Out of the many things I hand-made for Mom over the years, I think this is the one she used the most. 

I will treasure our memories and carry her in my heart until we meet again.
