Con gran tristeza anunciamos el fallecimiento de nuestra amada madre, abuela y amiga, Rafaela Henriquez, quien partió en paz rodeada del amor de su familia.

Para sus hijos y nietos fue una luz guía una fuente infinita de amor, sabiduría y alegría. Para sus amigos y su comunidad, fue alguien en quien siempre se podía confiar, conocida por su generosidad, su fe y su espíritu alegre.

La fe en Dios fue el fundamento de su vida. Vivió con gracia, gratitud y confianza en el plan del Señor, compartiendo su fe a través de sus palabras, sus acciones y el amor que entregaba a los demás. Su devoción le brindó consuelo y fortaleza, especialmente en los momentos más difíciles.

También tenía un profundo amor por los animales, las plantas y las flores. Su hogar siempre estaba lleno de vida desde las mascotas que cuidaba con cariño hasta el jardín vibrante que cultivaba con paciencia y alegría. La naturaleza y su fe eran su paz, y compartía esa belleza y serenidad con todos los que la rodeaban.

Su legado vivirá en las incontables vidas que tocó y en el amor que derramó en cada momento. Su recuerdo será eternamente atesorado por su familia, sus muchos amigos y todos los que tuvieron la bendición de conocerla.

Familiares y amigos están invitados a celebrar su vida en George M. Holt Funeral Home, ubicada en 50 New Main Street, Haverstraw, NY 10927,, el Juves de Noviembre 6 de 4:00-8:00 PM. Se celebrará una misa fúnebre en St.Peter's & St. Mary's Iglesia el Viernes a las 10 AM seguida del entierro en St. Peter's Cementerio.

Aunque Rafaela ya no esté con nosotros en cuerpo, su amor, su fe y su espíritu continuarán guiándonos e inspirándonos siempre.
