Amparo was always on the go, always ready for her next adventure. One of her passions was cruising. She visited multiple Caribbean Islands, Europe, and Alaska. She always dressed to the nines, fashionista for sure. She lived a very healthy life, being a vegetarian for a part of it. But her greatest passion of all was her love for her family and friends. Her laugh was contagious and her smile lit up a room. Everybody loved beautiful Amparo. She will forever be loved and missed. May she rest in eternal peace.
