Mary Louise Soto

My Mother-In-Law was a sweet, beautiful, wonderful, caring, kind, strong, and amazing woman. Although It’s only been a few days since she left us, it doesn’t seem real. I know she’s in Heaven with her loved ones, enjoying eternal life, but my soul longs for her presence. She was beloved by her family, and everyone who was privileged to have met her. She always welcomed you with open arms, and made you feel at home. She was one-of-a-kind. Like a precious jewel. I will remember and cherish our special talks, and the many stories she shared regarding her life. I will miss her dearly. My only consolation is that I believe I will see her again one day in Heaven. Until then Mary, know that you were truly loved, and will never be forgotten.

My brothers, sister, and I were very blessed to have our Mother at home throughout our childhood. What best describes our Mom is Proverbs 31 versus 10-15, The Virtuous Women. “Who can find a Virtuous Women for her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her. So he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax and willfully works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships. She brings her food from afar. She also rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household.” When God and you gave me life I cried, and when you departed I cried once again. The Lord Jesus Christ promises in his word that this is only temporary. We will be together again in Heaven. Love and miss you, your son Ernie.

Mary, I’m so thankful how the Lord put us together in a time where we needed each other. I needed a friend just as much as you did. I’ll always cherish the stories you shared of your childhood. Most importantly your kindness, friendship and laugh and trusting me to take care of you. I’ll miss you but I know I’ll see you again. For now, rest in the glorious presence of our Lord Jesus!

May you rest in peace, but kick some clouds as you dance the days away. Love you Mary, you’ve always been a welcoming mom.
Always a pleasure to see and talk with you.
We were blessed to have you.
Love
Barbara and Maggie
