The first conversation I had with Ofelia was both unusual and amazing. The story she shared with me made a lasting impression, a lesson which has and continues to serve me well. I am grateful for Ophelia’s gift and forever thankful to Idania for sharing her mother with me. Lamento tu pérdida, Idania. Aquí estoy para lo que necesites. Deborah

I did not know Ofelia well but do know that she brought into the world an amazing daughter, Idania, who never left her side and who any mother would be grateful to have in her final chapter. Rest in Peace Ofelia.
My favorite times with Ofelia were those that we shared when my sisters and Idania would go off together to sightsee or just do errands. We had such wonderful talks. I was, for the most part, the willing listener as she told me stories of her life in Cuba, coming to America, and her life here in her new country. I admired her strength. She helped her family to carve out a beautiful life together. Nothing could demonstrate that fact more than the devotion, care, patience, and love she received to the last second of her life from her daughter Idania.
I have many happy memories of spending holidays with Ofelia (abuela) and she made the best flan every time. She will be missed
