Greeted us with open arms,
And welcomed us inside.
Abundant generosity
Your kindness did not hide.
We'll never understand the “why,”
But our Father is ever fervent.
He met you, and with open arms,
Said, “Great job my faithful servant.”
Thank you for welcoming everyone into your life,
Mrs. Amaya. We could never express how much we
appreciate all you did for us. Your personality was a
shining example of how we must strive to treat other
people with kindness. And truthfully, you've left huge
shoes to fill.
