VALENZUELA, Maria Angelica Parra - (May 17, 1938 – January 19, 2022)
"Grief I’ve learned is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All the absent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” - James Anderson
The death of Maria Angelica Valenzuela Parra de Vargas is a loss that will change the lives of those who loved her.
Angelica was an extraordinary woman. She lived life in vibrant colours. She was a flawed, kind, honest, loving, devoted, and incredibly witty human. She was a lover of words, flowers, good food, cheeky banter, and great company. She fiercely loved her husband, her children, her sisters, her sons and daughters in law, her grandchildren, her friends. She loved Jesus and Nat King Cole too.
She loved to swim, dance, and write poems. She was a marvellous storyteller. She told stories of pain, trauma, and loss, but also healing, love, adventure, hope, and a great beyond. She inspired those who had a relationship with her to create, to play, to never take themselves too seriously.
There are deaths that conceive new worlds. Losses that change the way we move around the world. There is pain so heavy, so loud, it forces us to reshape our thoughts, feelings and actions. The loss of Angelica, our beloved Kelita, is an ache that will linger even when the world carries on like nothing ever really happened. Even when the pain squeezes, burns, and bruises, we will welcome it. Because it is a reminder of all the love we still had to give you and we couldn’t.
This is not a goodbye, this is a celebration of your life, a thank you for shaping our lives, for the memories of you carved in our hearts. Our souls are eternally connected. This is not a goodbye, this is until we meet again.
Arrangements are entrusted with Andrews funeral home, Brampton.
