She was the only grandmother I knew. Even though we lived miles apart in what seemed to be different worlds, when we did see one another I always felt a love like no other. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have spent time with her last year when she traveled to the United States to visit her family. She is and will always be such an important special person in my life. May God bless her soul for eternity. Until we meet again vovó. I love you and long for the next time I can hear you say “O meu Jerry.”

Querida mãe, já partiu para o reino dos céus onde agora está com meu querido pai Joao Silvério Sousa, com sua filha Nelia, e todos os outros que ja partiram. Descansa em paz minha rainha, amo te eternamente..até um dia meu anjo!
