In loving memory of Luz Maria Crespo how leaves behind her husband, Miguel A Crespo and two children; Michael Crespo and Madeline Matlak; four grandchildren; Ecco Matlak; Ian Matlak, Christopher Crespo and Nicholas Crespo and loving niece Brittany Soto Her favorite saying was "la vida es una lucha" with the premise that life is a struggle however without challenges we would not be inspired to make a difference. Luz was an advocate for education and empowered many with her love and resilience.
