She was not only my Aunt Mar, but she was also like a mother to me, even before I had lost the one I was biologically related to. In addition, as I’ve become older, I’ve realized that she’s a good buddy of mine. She had a great heart and made sure that everyone who entered her home felt like they belonged there.
She was, without a doubt, the MOST SKILLED COOK! For a number of years, she served as the literal glue that kept our family unit together. She ALWAYS contributed with love, giving from the deepest part of her heart. My heart is broken. Aunt Mar, may you rest in peace knowing that I love and miss you so much. I’m surrounded by holy beings as my guardian angels! I pray that they are all having a good time up there in the clouds.”
