Maria Juana Lara de Recinos

Our mother lived a life of faith, sacrifice, and unconditional love. From a very young age, she worked tirelessly to help her parents with whatever was asked of her. She carried responsibilities far beyond her years, often sacrificing the carefree childhood that many enjoy. Those early years shaped her into a woman of extraordinary strength, humility, perseverance, and compassion. She also lovingly helped care for her brothers and sisters, always placing the needs of others before her own.

Through every hardship, she remained strong and devoted to her family. Together with our father, she built a home filled with love, and despite the challenges she faced and the health struggles she endured, she never stopped caring for her children. Even into our adulthood, she continued to pray for us, encourage us, and love us with all her heart.

She never forgot the kindness shown to her throughout her life and was always eager to help those who had helped her, reflecting a heart full of gratitude, compassion, and generosity.

We find peace in knowing that her earthly journey has ended and that she now rests in the loving arms of our Lord Jesus Christ, free from pain and surrounded by His eternal peace.

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7

Her faith, her strength, and her selfless love will continue to guide and inspire us until we are reunited with her in God's eternal kingdom.
