Madrecita, hoy cumples un mes que te fuiste de mi lado. Tu partida la llevo en el alma; en tu carita no dejo de pensar y tus manos tan suavecitas no dejo de recordar. Siempre la llevare en mi mente! Que Dios la tenga descansando y se que nos veremos otra vez! El Senor es mi pastor y nada me faltara! La quiero mucho MADRE!

Querida Dona Altagracia.
Fue un placer haber tenido el gusto de conocerla y hablar con usted.
Usted fue una mujer futurista, fuerte ,grandiosima.
Ahora mi Dios la espera con los brazos abiertos.
Usted fue una mujer de Fe y no tenia miedo.
La vamos a extranar mucho ,pero siempre su recuerdo estara vigente en la gente que la quisimos y que la apreciamos.
Dios me la cuide y no es un adios sino un hasta luego...de regreso al Hogar con Dios.
