My heart goes out to you. You’re in my thoughts and prayers. I pray God gives you all the strength to get through this big loss. I know we all have such great memories of the summers we spent in Buffalo with our grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins, including the 4th of july picnic. I really enjoyed every summer and I still remember every moment of those summers we looked forward to enjoy our entire summer with you all. I will miss Aunt Margaret and Uncle Raymond, we were so lucky to have such great aunts and uncles. Thinking of you during these difficult times. I know it’s very hard when you have been so close to your Mom but I know those great memories you have of her are something you’ll cherish everyday. I still miss my parents very much but I am glad I chose to live in Cabo Rojo and could have so much time with them. I, like you, was very close to them both. My mom always enjoyed every moment with Aunt Margaret. To my Mom Aunt Margaret was the sister she didn’t have. She only thought of the next time they would be together. She will always be in my heart. Take care. Love you all. You are all in my heart.
