    To the Ribeiro family- I'm deeply sorry for your immense loss. She was my beautiful, loving Godmother and a major part of my childhood . I'll never forget her presence at my wedding. I regret losing contact with her over years but trust God that she knew I loved her. May she rest in eternal peace. I pray for comfort and strength during this difficult time. Love, Maria Teresa Gomes-Cabral.
