Hoy se ha apagado una estrella, un ser humano increible y muy especial que llego hasta el corazon de muchos para entrar y quedarse... Alli donde este quiero que sepa que le agradecemos cada gesto amable y solidario, cada consejo, cada sonrisa, cada regaño ... Fuiste siempre una bendicion en nuestras vidas amiga y para cada persona a la que ayudaste con tu misma forma peculiar de no esperar nada a cambio, que dicha tan grande haberte conocido y que honor haber contado con tu amistad, te vamos a recordar como aquella luchadora incansable que para nada temia a la adversidad. Para toda la familia va mi mas sentido pesame, quiero que sepan que los acompañamos en estos momentos de dolor y espero que dios le de consuelo: A ti Mirna: Te amamos amiga querida!
