    I want to tell you with all my being that I deeply regret the farewell of mom Bernarda, because I always got used to calling her mom, she was my mother-in-law for 5 years but my friend forever, an exemplary woman whom I admired very much. Today I tell you that although it is difficult but it is necessary to smile, since mom Bernarda was always smiling and offering love for everyone. Go for it family, because now we have a wonderful angel who takes care of us from heaven. πŸ™πŸ•ŠοΈβœ¨

    I am deeply sorry for your loss. Bernarda was such a wonderful, down-to-earth person. I'll always remember how much she loved to dance and sing. When she came to the house, she would always tell us to keep our heads up and never let anyone put us down or act like they were better than us. I am truly going to miss her laugh and her beautiful smile. She was a light to all of us. Gurete AndradeπŸ™πŸ™πŸ¦‹πŸ¦‹
