Her cousin, Michelle Malkin:
Today is Ash Wednesday. It’s the beginning of the Lenten season, when Catholics decide to give something up during this annual period of self-examination and self-denial.
Today, however, is a day for me to talk about the things I will not give up on. It’s the three-year anniversary of the disappearance of my cousin Marizela Perez — “Emem” or “Mei” to her loved ones. She walked out of a Safeway grocery store on the University of Washington campus in Seattle on March 5, 2011 and hasn’t been seen since.
I haven’t given up hope that she may still be alive.
I haven’t given up hope that she will be reunited safe and sound with her parents, Edgar and Jasmin.
I haven’t given up hope that somebody, somewhere, knows something that will help locate her and will finally come forward.
More information on what the young lady looks like and where and when she was last seen may be found here.
If you’re the praying kind…well, you know…
