Vilma loved life. She based her life on the core beliefs of faith, family, and love. She embraced and lived life with a fierce passion for someone of such small stature. As an example to all, she and her partner and love her life, Sonny, tackled many obstacles and enjoyed ever more blessings as one. Her joy came from her kids and later from her grandchildren. Her family extended even greater to include friends and acquaintances she met along the way. Her relationship with God was emblazed even more so at the end thru her acceptance of Jesus Christ as her savior. Along with her love of the Blessed Mother, she and her family asked for her intercedence throughout her battle with cancer over the past eight years. Vilma will live on through each of her kids who will continue carry her traits and legacy. Her greatest joy came from having her whole family together and now we will be able to see her in those moments.
