I will always remember Urania, for her wonderful sense of humour and grace.
One of her loves and greatest achievements was her role as wife and mother.
I remember she used to like make up cute nicknames for people she was just meeting.
As her earthly job is now complete and she will go on to be surrounded by many passing family and friends .
My deepest condolences to her children and all her remaining family.. please take solace in knowing how special she was..
My sincerest condolences to the family. I have many fond memories of (Tia) Urania as a warm, sweet and kind lady. A true angel on earth, who is now a heavenly angel. May she rest in eternal peace.
My dearest sister in law, we allways remember your smile, sense of humor,kind lady and love for our family. Rest in peace with your brother the love of my life
Mrs. Mota, you will be sorely missed. We were all enamoured by your love of family and friends, your humour and your kindness. You were a sweet, generous, gentle soul. We will love and will miss you always. Sunil.
My heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your Mom, her legacy lives on in you.
I will dearly miss Tia Urania. She was quick witted and would laugh while admonishing someone for their joke — lol.
She was generous, gentle and kind.
You are now reunited with your departed loved ones. While we will miss you, we know that you are in a better place.
Dearest Paul, my deepest condolences to you and your siblings. Take time to mourn and remember all the precious time you shared with your mom.
