Maggi was my colleague at the UCA, an inspiring example in her tireless search for justice for the weak and voiceless as well as for our jefes, the padres jesuitas who were murdered by the army in 1989. We also spent endless Sundays at the beach or pool or birthday parties with our small children - her Damian and my Nicolita - quietly being mothers together. I was very sad to see her leave El Salvador in 1994, but I soon found out she was merely broadening her reach :-)

Hay quienes luchan un día y son buenos.
Hay otros que luchan un año y son mejores.
Hay quienes luchan muchos años y son muy buenos.
Pero hay los que luchan toda la vida:
esos son los imprescindibles.
---Bertolt Brecht

And those are the ones we will miss the most.
