Marina was a bright light who added sunshine wherever she went.  I loved 🥰 her and appreciated her special ways.  

My condolences to her family as they remember a wonderful mom, grandma, sister

Dear Xiomara, Stephanie, Andrew, and family,
I was so fond of your mother and admired her so much.  She was intelligent, kind, fun, beautiful, and she had an amazing work ethic, which she passed on to you.  
My whole family loved your mom, and we wish you comfort and peace.  
With love,
The Landazabals and the Manns

Dear Xiomara, Stephanie, Andrew and family,

We are so sorry for your misfortune.  Our hearts are heavy imagining your sorrow and we wish to send you all our love and support.  Luz was an amazing mother and friend and we were all blessed to have her in our lives.  Mothers hold a very special place in our hearts and their love impacts us in an incredible way that's always guiding and protecting us.  May God bless her and make her new in his everlasting kingdom.  We send our most heartfelt support during this most difficult time and we share some words which we hope provide some small relief.

Luz......

God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, “Come to me”.

With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away. 
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay. 

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best. 

Del fondo de mi corazon y mi familia le damos el más sentido pésame y los acompaño en el dolor de la  perdida física de Marina,su espíritu y hermosa memoria estará siempre en nuestro corazón.
Que ahora que está junto a Diosito proteja mucho a toda su familia que tanto la ama.
Gracias a Dios tuvimos la oportunidad de conocerla y disfrutar de su alegría tantas veces.
Un abrazo fuerte para toda la familia y amigos.

Dear family and friends ,
I’ have been Blessed  to have Luz Marina in my life as a dear  friend  for over 20 years.   
I love  and will miss her always💜

Our get togethers  always felt like  wonderful pajama  parties, filled  with laughter & salsa lessons! We also  had our share of tears, but  knew we were Blessed to have each other to lean on . 

We  shared  memories of our lives growing up,, raising  children, the joys of Grandkids ,  the  men we loved & those we  lost, including all things in our lives gifted by God to us.

We tried our best  as mothers , wives , and friends, She cherished life and each new  day as God’s gift to her.

I will most miss our talks about our Faith &  belief in God, and  what we imagined Heaven  and the hereafter would be like for us.

There was never a doubt that everything in our lives was predestined, and nothing  happens by chance . 
Our friendship meant to be! 

Marina ‘s unwavering beliefs in Jesus , God 
and a life hereafter,  is what I know enabled her to endure all of life’s heartships  with Grace and courage 🌹

She  always focused  on all her Blessings 
Which helped her have the most beautiful,, positive attitude  about life.  

She never hesitated to share her joy & wisdom with those of us who loved  & respected her . 

She was an Angel to us here.  We often spoke of  someday leaving  this world  for the next, and hoped to be reunited with  loved ones waiting in Heaven for us . She had no  fear of the hereafter. 

She wanted her children to know they are her greatest pride & most precious Blessing ! 

Marina knew  how very precious time was and lived her life to the fullest, with a smile and no regrets ....

I can’t remember a time she ever complained 
about heart ships or illness, and counted every days Blessing.   She knew she did the Best she could , with Gods help , & wanted her children to know she Will  always be watching over them🙏 GOD Bless You  My Dearest Friend 
Love, Cindy 




The love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay
Love isn’t love till you give it away 

Marina exuded love to her family...she was always commenting on her grandchildren how delightful each one was. Proud of her children and their academic achievements.  When she’d be getting to see the family reunited. 

Marina exuded love to her clients and coworkers to her tenants with a ready smile, talented hands, feet made to dance the salsa, warm laughter, and her favorite phrase of “Hello my darling “.   

With Marina’s passing our world has lost so much. I’ve lost a sweet friend.  My condolences go to each of us who felt her love 

My Dear Luz, 
It is so hard to say goodbye,  I  will miss you and cherish our moments together.  You were my friend and confidant,  you gave me advice and you opened your heart out to me and to anybody who needed help.
I know you are with God now, rejoicing in his eternal love.  I hope you are an angel now watching over everybody  you loved in your life. Love always. Mihaela.

Marinita
Last time I saw you was a work Christmas party last year, I remember we had so much fun, we laughed and ate and you told me how proud of your children you are. 
I will keep you and your family in my prayers. 
Rest In Peace Marinita ❤️

Dear Marina,
I always knew when you were around we would have a good laugh together. Thanks
You were also an exemplary Mom. We all know your kids meant the world to you.
Rest in Glory, My Friend ❤🙏
See you on the Other Side🕯

My dear Marina. We laughed till we cried. We laughed till we peed. We danced our shoes off. We had our inside jokes. I will miss the sound of your laughter and your beautiful smile. Rest in peace,  my friend.

May you Rest In Peace in paradise 🙏🙏
I will always remember you and your strength , your  youthful character and  your funny sense of humor . ...“Marinita” , “Mimilu” ..... we danced , we laughed, we learned , we worked together , we exchanged ideas and advices ... thank you for  your words of encouragements ..   marinita until we see each other again 🙏❤️🙏
