My memories of Betania are her radiant smile, eyes alive with sparkle and her lovely sing-song accent.
Sending love and light to Luisa, Guilio and the rest of her family.
For your light that remains
We remember you
in laughter that lingers,
in quiet kindness,
in warmth without words.
Your smile still shines,
softening even now.
Your eyes found beauty
and gave it back to us.
Your voice, gentle music,
stays in our hearts.
Though you are beyond our reach,
your light is not.
We carry it with us.
Always.
