Luz Esther Cosme, age 72, of Holland, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 30, 2023, and turned everyone’s world upside down.
Luz was born in La Isla Del Encanto, Comerio, Puerto Rico, the oldest of 6 children born to her parents Francisca Aponte and Ramon Ortega. She was an amazing wife, mother, grandma, and friend.
Luz loved to sing and dance. She was known for her laughter. Like her son, Mario, Luz’s laughter came from her soul. The laughter would light up a room and brighten everyone’s day! Her cooking could be smelled from blocks away and she took great joy in feeding everyone, even if they weren’t hungry. Everyone knew to take a plate and not to say no. And she loved kids. Above all, Luz loved her family: her husband, her children, and her grandchildren.
Luz is survived by her husband of 52 years, Mario Cosme, and her daughter, Luz Cosme; her grandchildren: Danzel De’Andre Vaughn, Daisey Monique Cosme, Destiney Uribe, Julian, and Jerry Henderson; great-grandchildren: Genavicia, Nano, Elaina Cosme Gonzales, Alexios Paul Uribe. She is and always will be Grandma Lucy to them; brothers and sisters; Antonio Ortega, Maria E Cabarrubio, Jose Ramon Ortega, Edwin Ortega, and Iris Delia Ortega, whom she raised while just a baby herself. Luz was preceded in death by her son, Mario (Paul) Cosme Jr. in 1999.
She was an angel who was heavenly sent to everyone she came into contact with. R.I.P. our Angel. Life will NEVER be the same without you in it. Always know you were and always will be loved by all who knew you!
Now rest our Queen!
