Maria was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend to all. She was the light and strength of her family. To know her was to love her. She never met a stranger that did not fall in love with her. Without her, pieces of our hearts are missing.
Una amorosa: esposa, madre, abuela, bisabuela y maravillosa amiga para todos los que trataron con ella. Ella era, luz y fortaleza para su familia. Nunca conoció a un extraño que no se encariñara con ella, porque conocerla era llegar a amarla. Sin ella sentimos como si nos faltaran partes de nuestros corazones. ¡Descanse en paz mi adorada abuela, “Pachita"!
