Juanita Martinez's Obituary
Te vas, mija, con esa sonrisa y amabilidad hacia los que te brindaron su amistad. Tú a nadie le diste preferencia; para ti, todos eran iguales. Por eso, muchos lloran tu partida. Dejaste mucha historia para recordar. Tus amigos te extrañarán porque siempre recordarán tus bromas, tus chistes. Tu alegría era contagiosa; si estaban tristes, tú les alegrabas su tristeza. Qué bonitos recuerdos nos dejas, mija. Siempre supiste que yo te quiero y te seguiré queriendo un titipuchal.
Nos dejas una tristeza muy profunda. Tus papás, Heliodoro Martínez y María Inés Vanegas, y tus hermanos y hermanas, Maribel Martínez, Edelmira Martínez, María Elia Martínez, Rosy Martínez, Helio Martínez, Marino Martínez, Miguel Martínez, y todos tus sobrinos y sobrinas, familia y amigos.
Mi Diosito te reciba en su santo reino. No sé cuándo nos veremos, pero seguro que sí nos vamos a ver, mija, Juanita Martínez. Siempre me abrazabas y me decías con alegría: "Señor Quince, qué bonito nombre me pusiste, orgullosa de mi nombre — JUANITA —"
You leave, my dear, with that smile and kindness towards those who offered you their friendship. You never showed preference to anyone; to you, everyone was equal. That's why many mourn your departure. You left a lot of history to remember. Your friends will miss you because they will always remember your jokes, your humor. Your joy was contagious; if they were sad, you would cheer them up. What beautiful memories you leave us, my dear. You always knew that I love you and will continue to love you immensely.
You leave us with a deep sadness. Your parents, Heliodoro Martínez and María Inés Vanegas, and your brothers and sisters, Maribel Martínez, Edelmira Martínez, María Elia Martínez, Rosy Martínez, Helio Martínez, Marino Martínez, Miguel Martínez, and all your nieces and nephews, family, and friends.
May God receive you in His holy kingdom. I don't know when we will see each other, but surely we will, my dear, Juanita Martínez. You always hugged me and said with joy: "Señor Quince, what a beautiful name you gave me, proud of my name — JUANITA —".
