Her name was Lilly and she lived in Puerto Rico...
She was a mother who lived a normal life extraordinarily. Not only because she had 10 children, but because of the great impact she had on those around her.

Lilly's Friends
-She always took the time to talk with you, to be with you. No matter what she had to do, she looked for a way to be with you.
-Yes, she looked for a way to be there for you.
As a mother, she taught her children to be generous and how to grow in their faith.
Even in very difficult times, Lilly was open to life. Her first daughter was born with a disease called 'skeletal complexion,' but Lilly and her husband decided to continue having children.
They founded 'Pediatric Home Care Services' to help children with the same disease as their daughter. There, they care for 110 patients.
Lilly treated each child uniquely, always attending to their personal needs. And she never lost her friendly nature.

My siblings were not the only ones Lilly touched, hundreds of people have been nurtured by her life. She was a woman who handled whatever God placed in her path extraordinarily.
Her doctor still gets emotional as he recalls what Lilly said when he told her she had cancer.

Lilly's doctor
Don't worry. What have I worked for all my life? To someday see God's face. You must be happy for me that that moment will come.
Those who knew her say that she always faced problems - from the biggest to the smallest - with peace and serenity.
Her work to see God's face is featured in the film Plenitud del Darse produced by Digito Identidad, and is now available on YouTube.
