Querida prima, que Dios de bendiga a ti y tu familia. Que discanses en paz.

My sincere condolences to the family. There are no words to describe the pain one is suffering in the void you left behind. There will be times that we will question God and His motives. I feel the pain your sons are going through. When I lost my mom (Olga) I was told that in time my wound would heal. Well, it's been over 4 years and I still miss her very being. Only through our family's support will this help yet it will never fill your presence. I know that you will be missed greatly and that one day we will all meet in the presence of God.
