To the family of my first cousin Celia Arevalo San Jose, I would like to convey my condolences to you all. Celia is a woman of valor, would try everything to survive. We are best friends, and I was her confidant in everything before she left for the USA. Yes, we lost her now but, I consider it as a gain for her as death is not the end of existence – there is life after life. God bless you all, family of my dear cousin Celia.
