Juliana (Trinidad) Santana was the best mother in the world. Always caring for others. She was a Catholic by faith and was a member of “Sacred Heart of Jesus”. In her youth she struggled to support her family and was well loved by friends and neighbors in her community in Brooklyn, NY. She fed the homeless and often sheltered them. She loved the holiday season, especially to celebrate 3 King’s Day as a tradition from her country of origin, Puerto Rico. In her days she loved to cook and also party. She loved to have her birthday celebrated. She used to get so thrilled when she knew she was having a birthday party.
She wanted to invite the whole town. And they better bring lots and lots of gifts!One of the things she got attached to was her beloved doll, which she named Linda. There was not a thing she would not share with Linda. She fed her and kissed her constantly. She wanted to baptize her. She loved her family, especially her grandchildren. She was always afraid to leave the world until her children unite as a family again. She got her wishes at the time of death when all her children promised her “UNITY” forever. We know that she rest in peace finally when she felt the presence of all those who loved and care for her.
