In Loving Memory of Margarida Santos
Margarida Santos was a woman whose heart beat for her family. She lived her life with kindness, devotion, and an unwavering love that touched everyone around her. Her love for her children, grandchildren, and her family were unmatched. Her home was always filled with laughter, warmth, and the comfort of knowing you were cared for.
Margarida’s greatest joy was being surrounded by the people she loved most. She celebrated every moment — from the smallest family dinners to the biggest milestones — with a sparkle in her eyes and a smile that could light up any room. Her gentle guidance, selfless heart, and steadfast support will remain with us forever.
Though she has left this world, Margarida’s love continues to live on in the lives she shaped, the traditions she cherished, and the countless memories we will hold close. We are forever grateful for the time we had with her, and she will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to know her.
May she rest in peace, embraced by the love she gave so freely in life.
