Dear ACURIL Members and Friends:

It is with deep regret and sorrow that I confirm  that Past Executive Secretary, Mrs. Oneida Rivera de Ortiz, passed away this morning, Friday, November 12, 2010, at the Doctor's Hospital in Manati, Puerto Rico.

Her sudden death creates a deep void in ACURIL.   Being present at the site, close to her and her family since yesterday, ACURIL was able to convey its love and heartfelt condolences to her daughter, Dr. Lorilei Ortiz-Rivera, and all her dear ones.

Details about a special mass, to be conducted by the end of this week, will be communicated later.

"Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind " ...  (William Wordsworth, Ode. Intimations of inmortality, from Recollections of early childhood, 1803-6)

May our dear Oneida rest in peace.

With kindest regards,
