Gisela, we will always remember you as the strong person you were, always positive and full of life! We have been blessed to have had Jose Antonio and your friendship for so many years and have been very fortunate to have shared so many good times together with both of you. Also, we have always supported each other through the sad moments that life have given us. We will be forever grateful to you and Jose Antonio for  being such wonderful Godparents to our daughters and we will miss you dearly. 

May God bless you and may you rest in peace.

Gisela was a wonderfully warm lady who was always so full of life and laughter and  she remained always positive no matter what she was going through.  I had the pleasure of getting to know Gisela thanks to my husband's friendship with her at work.  Javier and Gisela loved to tease each other and I enjoyed hearing about their banter and all the funny stories about the famous Gisela grams.  The two of them shared a special friendship that always helped to brighten Javier's work  day.   We are so grateful to have been able to spend time with Gisela and Jose recently during the Uruguay - Mexico game.  Even though they were Cuban, Gisela and Jose were so sweet to wear the colors of "La Celeste" and help us cheer on our team.  
Gisela will be missed but her beautiful spirit and infectious laughter will be remembered always.  We are blessed for having known her.    

 

I will always remember Gisela laughing.  She was a very strong lady.  I remember when she learned to take care of her diabetes early on so that she could travel to Europe with two of her friends, and in that trip Gisela being Gisela packed 21 pairs of pantyhose, one for each day of her trip.  Gisela got me my first job in New York  and guided me through my first winter.  We would wait outside Radio  City Music Hall and take turns buying coffee across the street so that both of us can stay warm and not loose our spot on the cue. I have know Gisela all my life since our life on our beloved Cuba.  She was always very generous and a great daughter. I hope that time gives her family strength and peace. 

 May God Bless her.

Gisela was one special lady and friend.  She was always there for you and had a fun sense of humor.   Gisela had her own struggles but you would never know because she would not wallow, she would put on a smile and good attitude – always!  I always admired her strength.  She would always say what can you do, just move on and keep going “okay” with that cute Cuban accent.  I will treasure the memories and friendship I had with you Gisela and miss you dearly.


I have lost my Godmother, my best friend, my 2nd mother. You were always there for me throughout the years in the best of times and the worst. you always pulled me through, showed me the way forward. You loved me the way that a mother would love her child, and you loved my wife and kids as if they were your own kids. You are the strongest woman that I have ever met, powerful, positive, and full of life. Both you and my Godfather always managed to light up the place no matter where you were. you both brought this energy into the presence of all who knew you. I am forever grateful for both of you and what you have done for me. Madrina, I love you very much, and all I ask of you is that you help me to be the best father, husband, and person that I can be, and help me to be even a fraction of your positive energy so that I may see the world through your eyes and to be at peace with it all. Thank you for calling me on my birthday, and thank you for reminding me how old I just turned...lol.  In her normal joking ways, she said "you are getting old you know". I said yes I know that quite well which is why I always forget my age. She said nope, you can't ignore it, you are still old. You will always be a part of me, and of my family. I love you dearly. may you rest in peace.    ( attached is a photo of our lovely time together we had last year with the kids)
