Mr and Mrs Sanchez Vargas, Christian and Yatziry,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Mayte. Nothing meant more to her than you all, and she fought so hard to remain with you. But it seems that God needed another angel, and because she was so sweet and beautiful, he chose her.
I feel privileged to have known her and cared for her, and cared about her. I wish I could have done so much more for her, and I hope you will forgive the times when I failed her.
She was a special girl and all of us on v4 will remember her forever as one of our very favorite patients. Her calm bravery in the face of so many difficult challenges through the years was amazing to behold.
I know there will always be an empty space in your hearts and in your family. But I hope you know that you all were the best family she ever could have wanted. You were there for her with unconditional love through good times and bad and it was obvious how much she loved you all.
And to Mrs Fischer, I can only say that you were, and continue to be, the most steadfast of friends to Mayte and her family. You used the knowledge gained from your own journey through illness to shepard Mayte along this difficult road. I know there is an empty place in your heart and in your life without Mayte. I hope when your grief subsides a bit you all can remember Mayte with smiles and laughter instead of tears. She touched a lot of people in her short life and that is the true measure of a life well lived.
Anne
