Benilda Caixeta
1954-2005
I would like to share the wonderful memories and feelings that Benny’s friends expressed over the last difficult year. We know that she would be humbled at all we have to say and she would want us to not only remember and celebrate the wonders of her life, but our own as well.

She never failed to paint her fingernails or put on her makeup. She never lost her charm or high spirits. She never told her age.

Irreplaceable Smile
We would watch our special TV programs, like the Bachelorette,
Amazing Race, Survivors. We always had good times together. Then I
started cooking for us a somewhat gourmet meal on Thursday night. That was our night for good wine, good food
and good conversation. She touched each of us.

Lover of the good things in life
When I visited her, she always offered me her chocolates. Madonna Franco March 6, 2006
Dignity in the face of Challenge
She appeared to me as if she was always going places, at the highest speed her chair could carry her, breaking the wind with her small and determined frame, always leaning forward in her chair. Her left hand pushing the speed lever.
She was very special in all ways. Thank God for all those magic moments we all have of her.

Abundant sense of humor
Knowing Benny and her zest for life, but mostly for her beloved
independence, I salute her courage. I will always remember
her strength through all adversity. Enrique Morales

Independent in spirit
I carried Beni near my heart all day and was honored to tell several people of her when they inquired about the photo.

I used to send her slides with some messages that she liked a lot. The last e-mail I received from her, she asked me to keep sending her those "lovely messages".
