transporting pork barrels to Mayaguez, PR. - ...today January 6, 2009
we have received information that the brother RAFAEL NADAL MOLL

2006 May 4 death of Antonia Nadal Morales Vda. de Turull; left two
daughters - I've just received the sad late news that my second most
special aunt passed away this year. Today is August 18, 2006
and it is now 11:50PM. I feel so sad, I am writing this with
tears in my eyes and with so much sorrow in my heart and pain that I
am shaking. Life could be so treacherous sometimes! About
three years ago my wife and I went to visit her at her home in Puerto Nuevo
where she lived most of her life. She was so nice to me and my
wife on that day. She was getting her lunch ready and she was so happy
to see us that she would not allow us to leave before we had lunch
with her. She made us stay to share her
lunch with us. We stay with her a lot longer than we
had planned and
now looking back I am so happy that we did. In hindsight I now realize that
day was our farewell until we meet again. It was as if she was saying goodbye without us
knowing that we would not be able to see her again. As it turned out, my dear aunt had been laid
to rest for more than 3 months before I got the news of her passing. Tia Toņa
was very special to me because she saw me thru my High School
graduation in Central High School in 1965 and my mother Catalina
always kept in touch with her and in my opinion the family
relationship was pretty nice with her. Here again we can see the importance of this website as
a form of communication so that the family can keep in touch about
important events. In Life we are nothing unless we show our respect
and honor our ancestors. God! forgive our trespasses, as we
forgive those that trespass against us! Descansa en Paz
Querida Tia. She is laid to rest in 'Cementerio
Los Cipreses, Bayamon, PR in grave site G-Z-84; I finally on March
31, 2009 was able to visit her grave site and paid my respects and
will always remember her in my prayers. It's such a wonderful
coincidence that my mother and my aunt after living their respective
lives apart they now rest in peace in the same cemetery. .
