I just came back from El Salvador to lay the mortal remains of my mother to rest. She was a saint in life and did so much good for so many people. Her mission in life has been accomplished. With gentleness and kindness she touched so many others in positive ways. I will miss her terribly, but she's at peace and wherever her travels might take her, she will be appreciated and loved.

Her memory lives in me and in the hearts of my family. She was/is an exceptional woman I am so lucky to have had her be a part of my life. I love and forever will love her.

You can rest now. Earthbound angel, you have broken through the shackles of mortality and returned to your state of grace.

To all whose beautiful sentiments and wishes you so kindly offered, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
