July 11, 1984- August 20, 2006
This quilt is in memory of Ariana Maia Silva, a Brazilian young lady who was very passionate for her country were she left at 14 years old coming to America bringing the seed of love. Here, she grew up so much without an age limit. Kids and adults who met here were mesmerized by her smile and beauty. During the time she lived here in the USA she worked at a Day Care and was on her second year of Business Administration in College. She was an exceptional daughter, sister, friend, girl friend, teacher, and companion…we really were blessed by God with her life. We shared wonderful moments together and we would like to express our great love, affection, respect, and admiration, and tell everyone that Ariana became invisible to our eyes, but never absent, because she is always in our thoughts, prayers, and in our hearts. We are happy to know that her good heart is beating on someone else’s chest here on earth. May God bless this person so that he or she may be just as special as Ariana and that the love for one another be abundant in the face of the earth. May God bless you Ariana and thank you for existing in our hearts…
