"Thank you so much Roberto for sharing all these lovely photos with us. Marisa was a lovely woman. I have never known anyone who loved their family more. She adored everything Julian and Camila did. Most parents occasionally get annoyed with their kids, but not Marisa. She truly loved everything about both of them. As much as I will miss this spectacular woman, I know her family will be aching for her so much more. God bless you all. "

"My heart is heavy for her family. Roberto and Marisa were such long time friends/lovers -- their love obvious; the ache must be unbearable for you Roberto. Her children and darling grandchildren were the light of her life; for you too I know this is a big hole and I am so sorry. I will never forget the day I met Marisa . .so cheerful and intelligent. I learned so much from her -- my life forever changed. I am so grateful to have known her. She made a difference in my life. All my love to Roberto, Camila, Julian, Todd, Elizabeth, Dorian, Julio Luis and to all who are missing her."
