You were a loving and supportive wife, mother, and family member. You were also a consummate professional, who was proud of the accomplishments of her students; a supporter of the arts, a generous, loving, and involved friend. To say we will miss you is an understatement, but you have surely earned the peace you now enjoy. Rest well Mayra. We will always love you. Finalmente cuando tuve la oportunidad de conocerla en Houston donde las dos nos habiamos mudado, sus amigas de D.
C no se habian quedado cortas en su descripcion! Era un ser humano supremamente especial, autentica, transmitia un interes genuino por ti y su conversacion era muy agradable. Durante estos meses de Pandemia la llame para sentir su cercania y saber como estaba, era un placer saludarla. A sus hijos, ambos de la misma edad de mi hija e hijo por lo cual era el tema en comun, les puedo decir que los ojos de Mayra, su expresion y su sonrisa se llenaba de amor y orgullo contandonos sobre sus vidas y proyectos.
I first met Mayra at her Berkley graduation, along with my brother Arturo. She moved to DC shortly after, and I was fortunate to develop a lifelong friendship. I witnessed her career growth, her spiritual growth, her wedding, the birth of her beautiful children, culminating in a most idyllic family.
What I remember most about Mayra among all the wonderful things that defined her was her spiritual journey and faith and the passionate devotion to her family, her husband and her children. Her family was the love of her life and her greatest pride. Words fail to describe Mayra and what her friendship meant to me and to those who met her. Mayra was a giver, kind, smart, beautiful, accomplished, selfless, devoted, charismatic, classy, always and optimist, deeply religious in its truest and most altruisitc form , exemplary mother and wife The last time I saw Mayra was in April when I went to Houston to visit my father, We discussed and updated each other on our lives, and she proudly and deservedly told me about her work an St Johns, her family and in particular the great accomplishments of her children, Danny and Alexa, following in the examples of both their successful parents, We talked also about the possibility of her making a trip to Jordan, and from there going to the Holy Land, Jerusalem,, Bethlehem, Nazareth,..
I know her soul is in heaven, yet her memories will remain to comfort all that loved her. Dan, Danny and Alexa, you are her best, most beloved and her proudest legacy. All my thoughts and prayers are with you during this utmost painful time. I coordinated with our church in Amman for a prayer and mention of Mayra for next Saturday August 14th.
It was a most cherished blessing to be her friend. God bless always and please reach out to me anytime, by email mljumean yahoo. Mayra was my neighbor - and the most generous of us all. Our friendship had just began, and it did not take her a second to offer her incredibly beautiful home to host for many days and nights a group of four women from Nigeria whom she had never met before, when she learned that they were coming to town for meetings of the international Business and Professional Women Organization which I led in Houston.
In that, as in other occasions, she was the most generous, most gracious, most considerate and thoughtful host one could only dream of - not only to friends, but even to strangers. Ti voglio bene, Mayra. I will forever miss you, and the lost opportunities to learn from you.
As one of Mayra's colleagues at the UST political science department, the loss of Mayra comes as a terrible blow. She was an absolutely one of a kind person and a great Christian. She reached students in a way that I was not able to, and did so much good in this department in the short time she was with us. More important than those things, she always encouraged me to go to daily Mass and take part in the Divine Mercy chaplet. The lesson I will remember most from her is: that an important part of participating in a Catholic University is that we pray for each other.
I am not surprised at all to hear in this obituary to hear that she did not fear death, because her soul was in the right place. I will continue to pray for Mayra, and wish to give my sincerest condolences to her family. Yesterday I heard this quote from St. Claire of Assisi, and I take comfort in it in thinking about Mayra: "Heaven is a place where if you cry, everyone laughs- because they know you're joking! My sincerest condolences to Mayra's children and husband.
I worked with Mayra at UST and found her to be very caring and helpful. My lasting memory of her will always be the spring end of semester party which was the last time I saw her.
She was young and full of life, serving and sharing delicious food. Myra, may you rest in eternal peace in the arms of our dear Lord. My dearest Mayra-elegant, kind and thoughtful! An angel on earth, and now your eternal light shines in Heaven. God blessed me to meet you and share wonderful times over the years together. Forever cherishing beautiful memories of you, Marcia. Thank you Myra for being a coach and mentor to me and with our startup - Katzwatertechnologies www.
Please enjoy all our recent successes in heaven and know we are grateful for all your help and will always remember you as we solve the world's toughest water problems. May your family know no more sorrow. Your friend and mentee, Gary Katz.
She is a beautiful, inspiring soul that will continue to inspire me. I am grateful that our paths crossed in Houston, TX. I met sweet Mayra at St.
Then she joined our weekly rosary group. This specific area of her work marries personal experience with a professional passion embedded in a desire to see young people having a humanizing educational experience. Mayra holds a B.

Mayra met the love of her life, Dan Addison, in Dan had previously worked for the Reagan Administration in the White House. Dan knew instantly this gorgeous Argentine with Renaissance sensibilities would be the love of his life, too.
The actual moment they met was a White House Christmas party, which is fitting: the seeds of her devotion to her husband were sown at an event that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, for whom Mayra had eternal devotion. With the blessings of Christ, Mayra and Dan brought two beautiful children into this life: Daniel was born in , and Alexa joined them in And Alexa is currently attending the University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, PA, where she is majoring in sociology and pre-law.
While family and friends will miss Mayra terribly, Mayra always made clear that she never feared her death, for she knew that the Kingdom of Heaven awaits for all of us. We will all see her soon. In the meantime, we will cherish the memory of her devotional beauty, steely loyalty, and kind soul. Thomas, Houston, TX. To give online, please visit stthom.

Brille la luz de nuestro salvador sobre su hija Mayra Hunot Addison. She was a friend and neighbor while living in Houston and I will always remember her beautiful smile, her unwavering love of God and her love of her family. Dan, Danny and Alexa my thoughts and prayers are with you. Dear Dan, Alexa, Dan Jr. You have my deepest sympathies.
I can not begin to imagine your sorrow and sadness. I understand it is in proportion to the enormous love and devotion you have for Mayra. I wish I could turn back time and somehow undo what happened. I pray that God will sustain you and give you strength. I also pray that God will surround Mayra with love and comfort to cope with this temporary separation from her precious family.
Although I cannot be there this Friday, when I get back in town I will have a mass in her honor. My deepest sympathies, Brenda Klebau. Mayra was a caring, thoughtful hardworking mother and wife who had an incredible variety of talents which she shared selflessly. Our deepest sympathy to Dan, Daniel and Alexa. Erin and Jack McFarlane. Dearest Dan, Daniel and Alexa, My deepest condolences to you all Mayra came to my life as a real blessing, she was a blessing to all my family, my daughter's first client for her cakes, Nicolas when we left the country and you guys invited him home with so much love.
She also befriended my dear cousin Malena who arrived in Houston a year ago and gave her all her love. Mayra always gave percent of her love, prayers and services to all she met. I have no doubt that she arrived directly in Heaven and a sign of that is that her death was on Our Lady of the Angels date! My prayers and love for you all in such a sorrowful moment. I'm sure you will receive even more blessings now from her since she loved you so much and now lives freely in Heaven in the presence of Our Lord, Our Lady and St.
Joseph whom she loved so much! May God give you consolation and hope! God bless you! Martin and Dolores Gomez-Bustillo. Mayra, I can't believe that you're gone. It's been many years since we were together, but I always thought that we'd spend many more Thanksgivings together again sometime soon.
I have tons of happy memories of our times together in DC; Ice skating, the movies, shopping and fun dinners. My hear breaks for Dan, Danny and Alexa but I know they will stay strong and move forward because you set such a great example of how to live with purpose.
Much love. Rest In Peace Mayra, it was such a blessing when you and Dan were married, and you became our niece. You made the perfect home, and made it ours for many wonderful Thanksgivings.
We always shared our many blessings, and can never forget going out to give food to the homeless; you always thought of sharing your good fortune with others.
