Ignacia Ramirez Esquivel Soriano was a beautiful woman who loved her family deeply. As a little girl, she would climb trees that oversaw the Urapan River and would pick the mangoes that would rapidly float by. She loved life and the beauty of nature - to see the birds sing and the dawn of a new morning. Her mother taught her to live courageously and never be afraid - to trust God, love family, have faith and give yourself to others, including animals. These values are what she handed down to her own children.
