Very dear to the people is this unforgettable woman who entered eternity as a pure symbol of the people and inspiration of the poets, because she was a being all poetry.
As the soul of the guerrilla struggle in the Sierra Maestra is Celia Sanchez Manduley, the flower of Media Luna, who is so Cuban and ours to travel without the silence that the grave encloses, surrounded by lights and red hopes.
Smile and storm; good and simple, endorse the service record of the dove of green olive tree, whose combative heart resounded for its bravery to distribute light, bread, instruction, life, peace.
Your departure as a star that illuminates the firmament, is a living idea that shines in the present and future generations, to continue being a torrent, a tree of deep roots and protective shade.
An icon of greatness as a woman, full of strength and courage, she is undoubtedly the most intimate and dearest fiber of the Revolution, of unbendable spirit, of righteousness, of proven courage, valor and decision.
Celia Sanchez Manduley remains present. Her imperishable example imposes itself in every moment of the threatened Homeland, for her prodigal work, for her indelible mark.
Celia is the very elegance that since her pure childhood loved flowers, her country and its men and women, to have the grace of the buds when they open to the sun.
After her passage through life, the Heroine of the mountains and the plains, she leaves us a trail of unparalleled sympathy, sowing virtues, paths, consciences so that her people remember her as the Norma of the 26th, of Frank, the Norma of Fidel.
