Abuelita Rafaela was a women of great faith who was always willing to be there for others. In her life time she raised five children and many grandchildren. Our Rafaela will be greatly missed. She was a very strong woman who had a lot of love in her heart. We are all deeply saddened that she is gone, but we are blessed to know she lived a long and meaningful life. She made an impact on everyone who met her, and she always gave when she could.

It is hard at times like this to ask for help... As our grandma did for others with the little she had, we ask if you are able to help contribute only a little to give her the burial and service she would want in her passing. Our family will be and is eternally grateful to all those who have sent their condolences and we ask for prayers of peace. Nuestra familia estará y estamos eternamente agradecidos con todos aquellos que han enviado sus condolencias y pedimos oraciones de paz.

 

 

 

 

 

 

No he muerto,

solo me fui anetes y no quiero

que me recuerden con largimas como aquel

que no tiene esperanza.

No he muerto; aunque me curepo no este,

siempre mi presencia se hara sentir.

Sere el silencio de nuestro hogar

que tanto compartimos,

sere la brisa que besara sus rostros,

sere un recuerdo dulce

que asista a su memoria,

sere una pagina bonita de su historia.

Perdon a todoos, tome unicamente uno de los trenes anterioras y se me olvido decirles...

No me muerto, solo me fui antes.

 

Translation:

I have not died

I only left before and I don't want to be remembered with tears as the one who has no hope.

I have not died; Although I am not cured, my presence will always be felt. I will be the silence of our home that we share so much, I will be the breeze that will kiss your faces, I will be a sweet memory that attends your memory, I will be a beautiful page in your history. Sorry everyone, I only took one of the previous trains and I forgot to tell you... I didn't die, I just left earlier.
