To Wayne and Zapata Family,
Our deepest condolences go out to you Wayne for the loss of a beautiful friend and wife, to the Zapatas for the loss of a sister, cousin, aunt. Although we grew up in the old neighborhood, throughout the years we would run into each other, unfortunately we lost our communication, it was a total shock to hear of her passing. A part of me is chipped away and I am so sadden for the loss of a wonderful and beautiful childhood friend and VFW sister. My prayers and sympathy go out to all of you. Belen will never be forgotten. I will always be honored that I was her friend and part of her past that will linger on, I will miss her dearly. May you rest in peace my sister Belen.

Our deepest condolences to Wayne and the family on the loss of Belen. She always had a ready smile, never spoke an unkind word and embraced each day fully. Belen was our "fun party buddy" at every family Christmas Eve celebration. We are blessed to have known Belen and will miss her.

God looked around his garden and found an empty space. Then He looked down upon earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful. He only takes the best.

Our Deepest Condolences

Our hearts are saddened by the loss of such a beautiful person. Belen brought so much love and light with her beautiful smile when she walked into a room. She will be missed by all who were fortunate to have crossed her path one way or another. Belen was a wonderful Godmother to our son Nicholas. I am sure that he greeted her with open arms and a huge hug, just as they did while here on earth.
We hope that knowing she is no longer in pain and at peace, helps to bring some comfort to your heavy heart.
May God's love bring you comfort.

All our love,

Dear Wayne
I was so sorry to hear about Belen, we throughout the years unfortunately do not get to see each other as much as we would like, however I will always remember Belen as a sweet, compasionate, and silent personality that spoke volumes with her smile.
She is with God and my hopes are that you find peace in your days ahead.
