“A light went out with the passing of our mother, a woman who embodied beauty, fierce intelligence, and an unwavering independence. Her absence is a profound emptiness, yet the memory of her presence burns bright, a vibrant fire fueled by her incredible charisma. Her love for her family was a force of nature, a constant and reliable current that shaped our lives. Though she is no longer physically with us, I find solace knowing she is now in heaven, watching over us with that same fierce love and perhaps even keeping those celestial beings on their toes. “
