Maria Avelina was born in Terceira, Azores on June 10, 1937. She was a talented seamstress who worked for many years for Victoria Leather until she retired.

Grandma,

If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, place them in my Grandma’s arms and tell her they’re from me. Tell her I love her and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I will do it everyday, but there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away.

Until we meet again, Dear.
