On behalf of my dad Ben, he wanted me to express his deepest sympathy to his sister's family and friends. They tried to keep in touch as much as possible in the past few years, but physically was difficult at times, but they knew they loved each other. May she rest in eternal peace. God bless you sister, love, Benito
