El tiempo pasa y dejamos huellas en nuestro camino tu dejaste en mi corazon

El amor y calor humano que me brindaste el apollo moral y todos los momentos de felicidad que borraron mis momentos de Soledad.
Fuiste y seguiras siendo un angel protector para mi; se que donde te encuentras en este momento estas bien
el amor y la paz te acompanan por toda la eternidad.

Thinking about my dear aunty Mery. Tia Mery, you are now in the presence of our Lord Jesus. Rest in peace tia Mery!!! Not more suffering!!
Nunca te olvidarè, I will never forget you!!! This is the name of a song my aunty Mery loved so much. Enrique Iglesias´s beautiful song. I will remember her forever!!. I give thanks to God to give me the opportunity to share a lot of moments with my aunt Mery. A strong women with special character, strict, smart, cleaver and was never afraid to speak her mind or stand up for herself. Imaginative, ambitious, talented pianist, christian music lover and willing to do anything for her family. Her confidence and strength were something I always admired. I am very grateful to her to be in Canada because she was the first, the Pioneer who guided us to this wonderful country.
We will never forget you tia Mery!!! I write these words in behalf of my mom Isabel Castrillon and the Melo Castrillon Family.

My dear sister Mery. Very Special! How could I start describing her? I have a lot of good memories. I will describer her with invaluable adjectives that she possessed:
- Full of energy ( 24 hours/ 7 days working as a nurse, home and family care, seamstress, etc.)
-Always ready to help ( family and new immigrants)
- Very Optimist and Positive
- Courageous
- Not afraid to take risk to reach her goals
- Visionary
- Very inventive and
- a Good humour, she always had nice and gracious saying for anything:
* aqui veriwelliando= here I am shopping around;
* Esto aqui es chiquito pero pobladito= this here is small but with a lot of people;
* Eso tiene su pelusa = This is a very complex matter;
* Coma sin verguenza = Do not be shy to eat;

She will be missed by me, her brother Daniel Castrillon (Elisabeth, Tanya, Manuel) and the Castrillon Family.
