Dago, Lourdes, William, Sharon and family in Brazil,
I am saddened to hear about the passing of Dona Valentina. Her life was filled with strength, sadness, exciting memories and precious moments. I remember Valentina so happy the days when she was at Leo and Sharon's house when we were visiting. Whether it was around the pool with the London family, my mom and dad, and Sandy, Evan and Leah or if we were out at a restaurant, she was always smiling and happy to see us. Her face would literally light-up when she saw us. And her friendship with mom was a testament to both of them for understanding each other in spite of a language barrier. She will be missed. Our deepest condolences to all of you in Canada and in Brazil. May she be welcomed into God's Holy Kingdom. Sending our love, Susan, Peter, Gemma and Mark.
