As I toast to the memory of such a beautiful soul - My Tia Maria!
To the laughter, your jokes, your talks, tears, and dominoes games, painting your nails and watching novelas lol! - I will never forget you holding me tightly and asking me to stay and just move in because you didn't want me to leave - Oh, how you were so gentle and so loving and giving me so many kisses that it was hard for me to go and the many perfumes that you had and we smelled together, especially, the one you had of roses that you gave me and I still have. Then, you came out with a red mickey and Minnie mouse bag and wallet to give to me and told me "Toma, para que pongas tus chavitos" - and we both cried but with joy because we had such a nice and beautiful time. Funny, I still have and use it, especially, when I go to the beach and whenever I smell that smell of roses, I think of you and now more than ever I will cherish that smell, the laughter and the memories!
- I love you forever Tia Bella - Te Quiero Siempre - Nos vemos otra vez un dia - Jackie!.
