Me resulta difícil recordar a Liliana sin recordar inmediatamente a Raúl y Zulma; su papa y mama. De chico, íbamos con mi familia a visitar a los García. Eran personas sencillas, humildes y extremadamente bondadosas.  Inmediatamente se percibía una intensa sensación de paz en aquella casa. Y así era Liliana; sencilla, modesta, bondadosa, y con una tremenda paz interior. Jamás la escuche quejarse o hablar mal de nada ni de nadie. Al contrario, siempre de buen humor, aunque imagino que las cosas no siempre salían como ella hubiera querido. Pero tenía coraje para afrontar la adversidad siempre con fe y con una sonrisa, siempre pensando en positivo.

Liliana tenía un carisma especial. Cuando entraba en algún lugar inmediatamente se convertía en el centro de la reunión. Algunos decían que Liliana podía hacer hablar hasta a las paredes !!!

  Supo formar un hogar hermosísimo junto con Sergio, David y Gary, un hogar donde creo que no me equivoco diciendo que era el pilar de la familia, como suelen serlo siempre las grandes mujeres.  Y tuvo la dicha de ver crecer a sus hijos a quienes amaba inmensamente, estaba orgullosa de cada logro de ellos, siempre me contaba sobre ellos, y fue muy feliz cuando se casaron y disfruto mucho de su nieta Natalia, mientras esperaba ansiosa la llegada de su otra nieta la hijita de David y Carolyn

Lamentablemente se nos fue demasiado pronto.

 Compartimos cumpleaños, reuniones familiares, vacaciones, conversaciones telefónicas interminables. Siempre recuerdo en particular cuando me llevaron a conocer Big Bear. Que buenos tiempos. Cuantos recuerdos tan lindos, y a la vez cuanto vacío que queda.

Gracias Señor por habernos dado a Liliana, gracias por haberla puesto en mi camino, que ahora pueda reunirse con Zulma y con Raúl en la gran fiesta del cielo.

Chau Lili, gracias por todo, te vamos a extrañar mucho, te queremos mucho.

It is difficult for me to remember Liliana without immediately remembering Raúl and Zulma, her father and mother. As a boy, we used to go with my family to visit the Garcías. They were simple, humble and extremely kind people. There was immediately an intense sense of peace in that house. And so was Liliana; She was simple, modest, kind, and had tremendous inner peace. I never listened to her complain or speak ill of anything or anyone. On the contrary, she was always in a good mood even though I imagine that things did not always turn out as she would have wanted. But she always had the courage to face adversity with faith and with a smile, always thinking positively.

Liliana had a special charisma. When she entered somewhere she immediately became the center of the gathering. Some said that Liliana could make even the walls talk!!!

 She knew how to create a beautiful home together with Sergio, David and Gary; a home where, and I think I'm not mistaken in saying this, she was the pillar of the family, as great women always are. She had the joy of seeing her children grow up, whom she loved immensely, and she was proud of their every achievement. She always told me about them, and she was very happy when they got married and she enjoyed her granddaughter Natalia very much. She anxiously awaited the arrival of her other granddaughter, the daughter of David and Carolyn.

Unfortunately, she left us too soon.

We shared birthdays, family reunions, vacations, and endless phone conversations. I always remember in particular when the Lazzaras took me to see Big Bear. Good times. How many beautiful memories, and at the same time how empty things feel now.

Thank you, Lord, for having given us Liliana, thank you for having placed her on my path, so that she can now be with Zulma and Raúl at the great celebration in heaven.

Bye Lili, thank you for everything. We will miss you very much. We love you very much.
