The very first time I met Dina, over 20 years ago, I was studing for an exam and she took time from her busy schedule to gift me a praying card for knowledge. Every time I saw her, she was always so positive and encouraging towards others, no matter what she was experiencing. We were facing treatments at the same time, but she always took time to encourage those around her. May she rest in peace. Dina is a person whom shall forever remain in my heart.

Dina was and always will be a bueatiful person inside and out! Never had a cross word for no one, she thought of others instead of herself. Even when she was in pain always carried a smile and said "God is Good, God is Great". Unique, Beautiful, Thoughtful, Inspirational are only a few words that describe her. You will continue to be in our hearts.

I remember Dina as a baby. I remember how proud her Dad was of her, and he kept saying, " Mira mi hija que grande esta!"
"There is pain because there is love, but if we have no regrets we will be alright!"
God Bless you Ruben and Dina, may the Lord give strength.
