Cuantos momentos compartidos, tanto amor que me diste!!! Mi abue amada, ejemplo de mujer virtuosa, paciente y amorosa. Me diste el más grande ejemplo de tener paciencia y amor para con nuestros semejantes y recibir todo con Amor. Si en mi niñez y juventud hubiera tenido la tecnología con que hoy contamos, tendría tantos recuerdos😢😢Te amare por siempre y se que desde el cielo estarás cuidándonos.😍😍😍😍

Mi abuela, que es Maria Elvia Capera, fue la mejor cuando murió. Nunca pensé realmente lo que era la muerte. Pensé que al día siguiente volvería y cuando me di cuenta de que mi familia estaba llorando, supe que era el momento en que nunca la volvería a ver 😕

My grandmother was a woman who loved her life. she was a happy one, even through times of great weakness. My grandma was special, a woman who never gave up and worked for what she wanted. Growing up she was my role model, the woman i once and still aspire to be. The emptiness that fills our hearts grows each day that passes and yet somehow we find the strength to cope with the pain. She believed that if you're going to do something, do it out of love. ABUELA you mean the world to me! She's the reason to my existence, the reason why i do what i do out of love, my motivation to become a humble and caring. It has now been 3.5 weeks since she left and it feels like it was yesterday. God only knows that trail broken hearts you left, but the impact you made in each and every one of us. The day you gave me your Blessing was the Day i prayed to God for you to be with me forever, today i feel like i carry you with me everywhere i go. i love you grandma, and may the Lord give you rest. see you soon Abuelita. -Tortola Mayor, Dianne

La dulzura y ternura plasmada en una sola persona, la más especial y maravillosa de todas, yo tuve la fortuna de que fueras mi abue! Como te extraño, coger tus manitas que expresaban el pasar de los años! Tus risas, tus palabras tiernas como " mi lucero matutino" son innumerables los motivos por los que te recordare! Pero siempre estarás en mi corazón y en todo mi ser! Te adoro mi abue!
