Saying Goodbye

It is still hard to take in the reality of the things taking place.  On Tuesday, Dec. 27 Limaris Santiago went to be with her Savior, Healer and closest Friend.  She passed away around 4:10 as we were all at the hospital.  




We grieve the monumental loss that we are left with - a warm and caring sister, a fun-loving and humorous friend, and a hard-working, patient and ever-loving mother to three beautiful children.  Her children are taking it in slowly and in different ways due to their ages.  I think we have a long road of healing ahead, but we are confident that the same Jesus that is holding Limaris now is the same Jesus that will be near each one of these children as they grow. 

As we grieve our loss, it is true that we are also rejoicing that she is cancer free now and that she is feeling no pain, no sickness, no pic-lines, no fatigue.  She is finally face to face with her Creator, who she worships and loves.  She had full faith that this Jesus came to rescue her from her sins and that through grace he forgave her and adopted her into His family.  She is at her true home now.

Our family is overwhelmed by the love and support that has been shown to us from many different people.  We are grateful for all of your prayers.

There will be a viewing and celebration service for her.  Here are the details:

The viewing will take place at 10:00 am 
and the celebration service will be at 11:00 am
