My mother's home attendant, Martha Vega, was murdered yesterday:
Martha loved my mother very much. A deeply religious woman who never had children and was cursed (or blessed) with a powerful maternal instinct which she applied to everyone around her, she showered my mother with maternal affection - therapeutic for both of them, I think, especially since my grandmother's death. My mother adored her. Now I don't know what to tell Mom when she notices that Martha will no longer be there. I am so sorry she died so young (48). Her loss will be felt by all of us.
RIP, Martha. We will miss you.
Sad. Sad. Sad.
