Mom, I will be missing those moments, while I was still in Bogota, going to the ice cream parlor and having our favorite ice cream: Vanilla. Those trips to buy your special materials to have dresses made either for you or for us. I know that you enjoyed that...and when I was going to get married, how careful you were making sure everything to be perfect for the church ceremony and the gorgeous reception that was held afterwards....and what about when Sandy was born....You and dad were very happy....She was always your princess and then the other princesses and princes came along. They made you and my dad very happy grandparents.....
I will miss you dearly but I know you will be looking after all your kids, grandkids and greatgrankids forever.
Good night, I love you. Eli
