o tenemos palabras para expresar la tristeza que sentimos al perder a nuestra madre. Sólo Dios sabe que ya la necesitaba. Ahora ella ya es un angelito más en el cielo regocijándose en la presencia de Dios. Te Amamos mamá eres la mejor Madre, Amiga, Esposa para nuestro padre, la mejor Abuela para nuestros hijos que Dios nos mando Y la mejor suegra. No se como vamos a vivir sin ti, pero sé que tenemos que vivir porque así tú lo hubieras querido. Te Amamos mamá, no es una despedida si no hasta pronto.

Hoy despedimos a mi hermana, la segunda de once, pero para muchos fue como una segunda mamá.

Fue una hermana protectora, siempre pendiente de nosotros, siempre cuidando, siempre dando sin esperar nada a cambio. Su corazón era noble y generoso; sabía compartir lo poco o lo mucho que tuviera.

Crecimos juntas, compartimos risas, momentos difíciles, secretos y recuerdos que me acompañarán toda la vida. Su lugar en nuestra familia es imposible de llenar.

Me duele despedirte, hermana, pero me quedo con tu amor, con tu ejemplo y con todo lo que sembraste en nosotros.

Descansa en paz. Siempre vivirás en mi corazón.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
