Adios is the Spanish word for "good-bye". It originated from the phrase "a Dios vais" which means "you are going to God". I think it is an appropriate send off to a wonderful lady. Señora Toral, Noel's mom, went home to be with the Lord last night after battling cancer for over a year and a half. She has left behind all the pain, suffering, and sickness that has plagued her for so long and has entered into a place of eternal peace and rest.
I first met her in late 2003 and was immediately struck by her beauty and her lady-likeness. She was always very proper and made me feel at home every time I visited. Her family all loved her and she was the hub of the family. Everybody radiated out from her central matriarchal position. She will be missed greatly by her family and by me as well.
Adiós, Señora Toral. Descanse en paz. Tu fuiste adorado por todos. Hasta nos encontramos de nuevo en el cielo. Te quiero. Tu hijo-gringo americano.
