Our mother was a happy spirited woman who enjoyed traveling, listening to different types of music, going to karaoke to hear everyone sing, and to spend time with her friends. Most of all, "Mama" enjoyed spending time with us, her family. She always had words of love for each one of us. She was known for doing volunteer work at the hospital with AIDS patients and helping those in need. She also enjoyed helping and collecting clothing for families in need in Colombia. Our mother always had a passion for a healthy lifestyle and always encouraged those around her to do the same.

Our Mother Carmen León Texeira was a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and friend. Her beautiful smile and her good sense of humor always lit up our days. Her love for everyone around her was so great that everyone who knew her called her "Mama" like us, her daughters and sons.
