Vilma, always Vilma

It was a sad day for all the Cubans, and because the women of the world not to say, personalities and means of press of diverse countries diffused the death of Vilma Espín, the unbeaten president of the Federation of Cuban Women.

The greatness of her work, a work that was born and grew modeled by her ideas, carved in the formation of a woman that knows and is entitled the of not being discriminated against, of a childhood and a sure adolescence.

In the song mambisa, in the evocation to the couple's love that creó and procreated children, grandsons, values and virtues; in the heart that today is surprised and gets wider, in the tear that unrestrainable sprouts for the cheeks beyond the death, beyond the pain, it was inscripted, in the eternity, in the history of the Homeland.
