A beautiful flower no more

Today, March 28, 2013, my wife's sister, Esperanza Razi, died of illness at the age of 59 in Vienna.

My wife and I are greatly saddened by her passing. She was a kind and selfless person who dedicated her life to loving her husband and her son.

She is with the Lord now and will be deeply missed by us.
