Leticia was a Wednesday’s child. Born at 6:00 am on a Wednesday left us on a Saturday at 1:15am. 4 days.

43 years and 8 months, a life too short!

Salt of the earth, first light at dawn, the green flash at sunset.

Down to earth, unpretentious, knew who she was and definitely who she was not!

Generous to a fault.

Gave and gave until there was nothing left to give.

Never asked for herself!

Lit up a room just by arriving, and warmed it with her smile!

People, and animals, were drawn to her instantly, falling in love with her on the spot!

Highest of work ethics, would never let a coworker down.

She knew who she was, perfectly imperfect and had finally started to feel comfortable in her skin, in great part thanks to her best friend, soul sister Savanna.

She was a true friend even when miles apart, faithful, loyal through and through.

She was the best of us!

She was, and will always be,

My sun, warming my face in the morning,

My moon lightning up the darkest night,

And the brightest of the stars in the sky.

My love, my child, my heart!

I will miss you forever! Until we are one again. 

-Mama
