Dear Mendez Family:



We share your pain at this difficult time. Margot was a special person that lived a life we should learn from.



Although she had her unfortunate times, she always led everyone to believe, that everything was OK. She always had a positive outlook in life and her smile was all so special.



Let's all appreciate life and each other, as tomorrow is not guaranteed to any of us.



Our favorite quote, "Dream as if you'll live forever and live as if you'll die today", is a message we must learn through Margot's passing.



We firmly believe Margot did just that!



With all our love,

Benny & Aida Velazquez

There are no words to explain the pain in my heart. When the Lord came to take you with him he took a major part of me. I will always admire, love and miss you! We have lost an angel while at the same time the Lord has gained one.
