“You will forever be our favorite heroine. I will make sure to remind our little daughter of how wonderful you were and how much you loved her; I will tell her the story of how you saved her—how you gave your own life for our daughter.” Bello wrote in Spanish, adding photos of their family. “I will tell her that you were a brave woman who never left her side even when she breathed her last.

Two earthquakes struck Venezuela within about a minute — measuring 7.1 and 7.5 — on Wednesday, in what the Associated Press said was one of the country’s strongest earthquakes in more than a century.
