I hurt so much for you. I worked with Belinda at target for 3 years and she treated me like I was one of her children and I definitely saw her as family. She was so full of love and kindness, there were times she even brought home cooked food for me. 

Even in the hardest times she would lift my spirits and share her smile. I will continue to carry her love with me in memory for the remainder of my life. 

I hope you are able to find the strength to gain peace in her absence.

Karl
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during these difficult days.

Words often fall short when it comes to describing someone who meant so much to so many, but I will try to capture the essence of who she was to us ;someone full of love, care, and an unwavering devotion to family.
Tita Benjie had a heart that was larger than life. She loved with a depth that left no one out. She made every single one of us feel special, no matter the distance or the busyness of life. Her love was the kind that never ran out, always overflowing, and you could feel it every time you saw her. She was the glue that brought our family together, whether it was the holidays or any ordinary day, she made time for each and every one of us, making sure we knew we were loved, seen, and valued.
I remember when I was young, the holidays would always be celebrated at her house. Those moments are etched in my heart forever. The joy of gathering there, surrounded by her warmth, laughter, and infectious spirit, was something that made those times feel like home. It wasn’t just the food, or the gifts, or the festivities; it was Tita Benjie herself her presence her ability to make everyone feel like they were the most important person in the room.
When she moved to Florida,  the physical distance was felt more deeply, because Tita Benjie was the one who brought everyone together. It wasn’t the same without her constant presence, her calls, her reminders to come together and cherish each other. And yet, even from afar, her love still managed to reach us. It was the kind of love that transcended distance, and I’m sure she would still be calling, texting, or reminding us to keep close and take care of one another.
Tita  Benjie may no longer be with us in body, but her spirit will always remain in our hearts. She taught us the true meaning of family, of love, and of togetherness. She showed us that no matter what, we should always make time for the ones we love, and that love is what makes us strong, even in moments of sorrow.

I'm still struggling to believe you're gone. Your laughter, your kindness, and the fun we had will always stay w me forever.   I'll cherish all the memories we shared, and though I miss you deeply, I find comfort knowing you're at peace now. Until we meet again, my dear friend./ my darling  Rest in peace." I love you very much !

Your friend forever ,  Tess

Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of Ms Belinda.

I would like to share a Bible passage that gives hope and comfort to those who mourn the passing of a loved one, it reads:”He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces…”(Isaiah 25:8)
Sincerely yours,
Hugo
