School address Maria Teaching Center reported this Tuesday the death last Sunday of Mariluz Arenas Casasthe founder of the institution she built half a century ago in Mairena del Aljarafe. “Today we must say goodbye to our founder, a woman … revolutionary in his time, entrepreneur who dedicated his life to education. Today, his community mourns his loss but smiles at his legacy. Rest in peace, Mariluz,” the school said in a statement.
The aforementioned statement from the center includes a few words from Antonio Arenas Casas, vice-rector of Continuing Education, Entrepreneurship and Employability of the University of Córdoba, doctor of veterinary medicine, professor of animal health, as well as honorary president of the Veterinary College of Cordobawhich he dedicated to his late and beloved cousin. “There are lives that don’t need to boast to be great. From your cradle, Granada, bearer of a noble, simple lineage, daily efforts and short horizons, Mariluz, you knew how to look far away. Very far.”
“During these difficult years, you made a courageous decision, then almost unthinkable for a woman. You left with little baggage and a lot of uncertaintybut also with a silent determination that you have always carried with you. You learned a new language, adapted to another country and were able to progress far from home. You have built your path step by step. “You never gave up,” the letter added.
Thus, he returned to Seville “with the experience of someone who had already experienced a lot, but with everything to do. You brought the desire to contribute, to create something lasting, something that would help others move forward. For that, you had his mother’s determination and his father’s strength in your genes. You were that, a discreet, firm and generous woman. Woman who teaches without imposing herself, what an imprint, who has never sought recognition. Woman who made others believe more in themselves. What a shame for your last years. What you would have taught me! But life is very unfair, especially when it erases our memories.
And he concludes in said letter: “We are not going to measure your life by your sad end. Your legacy should be measured in people, in the opportunities you have opened and on these paths that many continue to travel today thanks to you. Go with peace of mind that your story will remain, that your example will continue to accompany us and that your memory will always live on among those of us who had the immense fortune to know you. Rest in the peace of God.”
