Una esposa fiel y dedicada, una madre ejemplar, un testimonio vivo de la fidelidad y pastora misionera en 17 republicas. La mujer muy especial, yo su esposo, le dedico este poema: amándote Loida, mujer virtuosa, aun después de 60 anos de matrimonio, murirstes en paz. Hablar del angel que tu alma encierra, sentirme en las olas que me ahogan, la tempestad de amor, que en tu demora, espera mi alma, que tu alma la recoja en tu amor, mi congoja.
A faithful and dedicated wife, an exemplary mother, a living testimony of fidelity and a missionary pastor in 17 republics. To a very special woman, I her husband, dedicate this poem to her: loving Loida, virtuous woman. Even after 60 years of marriage, you died peacefully.
