What a beautiful woman your mother is, was and will continue to be to the Benitez family! She did an amazingly great job in helping to raise her children! Miguel (Mike) is one of my best friends from high school. I knew Belen, as well as Steve (Stevie) and the whole bunch, are a fine example of good citizens, considerate and credible people to know and love! The loss is a great one for the Benitez family. Your faith and love in our Lord God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit will give you the strength and grace to go on in life without her presence here, however, her spirit will live on forever with you here and in Heaven! May you all have the Peace and Love God gives us in this difficult time as it is now. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.
