I have known Mariel and her family for many years. When my daughters were small, I made a conscious effort to help them choose good friends because I am conservative and protective of good values. This is why Mariel and her sisters became my daughters’ friends. I considered the fact that her parents, renowned physicians and people of integrity, are also admired and well-respected by everyone in our community. I have admired Mariel as an emotionally stable young woman; very sweet and kind, she possesses a beautiful inner light, and she has a deep love of children.

When my first grandchild was born, Mariel was a loyal advisor to my daughter. Despite the geographic distance between them, Mariel guided her since the onset of her pregnancy: she explained the benefits of breastfeeding, and gave her tips on how to care for her baby and maintain him healthy, among other things.

I consider Mariel to be an exemplary woman, with exceptional grace, and unable to harm others, especially not a child to whom she dedicated her time and cared for as if he were one of her own small children.
