5 Jun 2024Coti was sent to earth as an angel from God. She was hard working with the innocence of a child. She lit up with things around her like flowers, growing vegetables and plants and with people. She loved playing games with Dad like throwing the ball, marbles and ring toss. She loved to the depth of her core. She not only greeted me with a hug but a back rub, especially during the years as we took care of our very sick mom, she knew our heartache and would just hold us tight. I’m happy she is in the arms of our Lord Jesus. We will miss her desperately. We will not stop praying for her boys, Franz and Julio that carry on her strength and her love. May Jesus give them peace as well as Hilde, Mario and Victor and her extended family. ❤️🩹
