Our mother was kind, caring and giving person who always put the needs of her family before her own. Aida was a strong woman who faced every challenge in her life with courage and dignity. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, a source of inspiration to us all and she will be deeply missed by everyone whose lives she touched.
The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Aida such as a day out shopping, though Ernesto may beg to differ. She had a passionate love affair for Burger King, cheesecake, Marc Anthony, Victor Manuel and not in that order. Aida enjoyed vacation cruises, traveling, and family get together with her children, grandchildren and friends who became family; but what she loved most of all was knowing her four children were happy.
