Senaida Gonzalez

Affectionately known as the queen of her family, Senaida wore her crown with grace and love. Her kingdom was her home, which was always filled with laughter, love and the chatter of her cherished children and grandchildren. Senaida's love for her children was infinite and unconditional. She fiercely loved and protected her children, instructing them to be kind and genuine. She readily passed down her wisdom, brightening the path for her grandchildren with her unique brand of love and guidance. A lover of life and its luxuries, Senaida had a passion for shopping. Her eyes lit up when admiring clothes, shoes and jewelry. She was an artist in her own rite, crafting an impeccable look that was uniquely hers wherever she went. Always ready to steal the show, she made styling and matching outfits an art form that she mastered elegantly. More than an elegant woman, Senaida was a pillar of strength for her family, her love always a safe haven. She instilled courage and grace in the heart of her children and grandchildren, ensuring that her legacy of love and resilience would stay alive for generations to come.

We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the families who gave their precious time and support during this difficult journey. In particular, our deepest appreciation goes out to those who were able to stand by our side with unwavering dedication and love.
