Aida was a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother who gave her whole heart to those who entered her life. She was also a very devout Catholic and always espoused peace—and her favorite prayer captured her wisdom and essence: La Oración de San Francisco de Asís Señor, hazme un Instrumento de Tu paz. Donde haya odio, siembre yo amor; Donde haya injuria, perdón; Donde haya duda, Fe; Donde haya desaliento, esperanza; Donde haya oscuridad, luz; Y donde haya tristeza, alegría. Oh Divino Maestro, Haz que no busque ser consolado sino consolar; Que no busque ser comprendido sino comprender; Que no busque ser amado sino amar; Porque dando es como recibimos; Perdonando es como Tú nos perdonas; Y muriendo en Ti es como nacemos en Vida Eterna. Amen.
