One of the sweetest people I could remember at such young age. I remember my parents would take us to her home to visit all the time when we were little as she was my Dad's godmother. She made the best carrot cake I can remember. She is now in the most beautiful place with God and sitting with him looking down on us. My heart goes out to her family and thanks the lord for giving her such a wonderful long life...Lisa & Sandy Senna

My cousin Aninha was among one of the nicest person I have had the privilege to know in my life. Although over 40 years separated us, she always ensured anyone around us knew we were not strangers or acquaintances, but first cousins ("familia pertinho").
She was generous to a fault but I never minded when she would call me handsome because I knew she was reaching the pinnacle of her generosity, but I basked in her kinds words anyway. And whenever I visited which shamefully was not as often as I should have had, she welcomed me gracefully and never let me leave before we had a coffee, tea or juice and a snack.
She now belongs to the ages, but shall always be remembered as the kind and gentle person to anyone who had the good fortune to be in her presence.
As the Lord welcomes her into His Kingdom, I have faith she will look down and ask for His blessings upon us.
Rest in Peace Prima...
