Despidiendo a Betty
Bogota, Colombia 11/24/1931- Queens, NY 8/31/2025
Con profunda tristeza en nuestros corazones despedimos a nuestra gran senora y amiga, María Holanda Betty Bohorquez Cardona, quien falleció a los 93 anos el día 31 de Agosto 2025, en Queens NY. Betty, como carinosamente se le conocia; era una dama muy elegante, que le encantaba bailar, contar anecdotas y chistes, trabajadora (desde muy joven se dedico a la costura), bondadosa y generosa, honesta, amigable y jovial, su alegria era contagiosa.
Betty emigro desde Colombia a los Estados Unidos muy joven y se radico en Woodside, Queens. En el ano 2006 tuve la gran fortuna de conocer a Betty y desde el primer día me ofrecio su amistad y carino que perduro por más de 19 anos. Betty era mi amiga y hermana del alma, me acogio como una hija. Lamentablemente su vida se apago muy pronto,su fallecimiento nos cojio de sorpresa aunque venia padeciendo de un cancer agresivo por casi 2 meses que Betty soporto con valentia, determinación y abnegación. Durante ese tiempo Betty nunca perdio su sonrisa, su lucidez, su elegancia, su alegria iluminaba cada instante que compartiamos. Mi familia; mis hijos, hermanos, sobrinos, mi esposo y yo siempre agradeceremos infinitamente a Dios por nuestra amistad. Descansa en paz querida e inolvidable Betty.
