We are sorry for your loss but glad to know she is at peace. We are here for you anytime.
Dearest Nelson and family: the loss of your mother is felt at such a deep level, and it will take time to learn to live with the void. The loss of a matriarch sends ripples through the whole extended family. Now others, who have learned from her example, rise up and carry on with the love, wisdom, spirit and determination that she has modeled. Our love and thoughts are with you all at this time.
Queridos Nelson y Robert siento mucho la perdida de la gran persona y gran amiga que fue su madre, ahora les toca seguir con su ejemplo, fue una persona muy bondadosa y llena de amor en su corazón y con un espíritu muy fuerte, saben que su familia en México siempre estará con ustedes, un fuerte abrazo, se les quiere mucho.
Hi Nelson and Robert, I hope that at this moment you are filled with peace and serenity, as her mother wishes, because she is already reunited with the rest of our family in a place where there’s not sadness or pain.
Of course we are already missing her , because her qualities made her a very positive person, always full of enthusiasm ❤️.
Please accept a big hug from me. I mourn Oli’s passing from a far, but I cherish many memories of her, and I’m grateful for every moment we share together. With love ANA.
