Jairo & Stella Arcila

Querida y amada mamita, el dolor de no verte de nuevo
se despierta la estela de una melancolía,
pasiva y solitaria que descifra cada llamada enlutada
de mis lágrimas al caer.
Lágrimas que de tanto ser derramadas,
me han dejado en completa sequía
y el lamento insospechado
de una sonrisa ya extinguida,
me hace imaginar cómo será aquel lugar
donde ahora tus ocurrencias habitan
con Papito a tu lado, de las manos unidas
y que fue capaz de arrancarte de este umbral
acostumbrados a tus risas, tus palabras de “Hola mijita”
Nos queda gratos recuerdos
que solíamos compartir todos juntos en armonía,
con alegria y armonia.

Te fuiste y ahora más que nunca comprendemos,
Que tanto te queremos
y lo triste que resulta ahora tu partida.

Sin un hasta luego, sin despedidas,
te fuistey nos dejaste inmersos en recuerdos,
y ahora los abrazos y las risas,
los sueños y la alegría
hoy vemos esfumarse de nuestras vidas

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to share my life with Mamita. She was so loveable to me, my husband, and children. Although I am saddened by the loss, what keeps me strong is the faith that she is now united with her loving husbad and her other children. I know that we will see each other again someday. Que dios la bendiga.

Mamita was a great individual who touched many people's lives. Her soft spoken, lighthearted attitude on life are something to be admired. She's definitely going to be missed but we all know she's in a better place and she's not going to be alone <3
