Bélgica Adela Mirabal Reyes (insert new section between patria and Maria's section"
'''Bélgica Adela Mirabal Reyes, commonly known as Dedé, was the second daughter of the Mirabal family and was born on February 29 1925. Unlike her sisters she did not go to college but instead took the role of the tradition homemaker. Dedé stayed home to help with the family business and did not become involved with her sisters' political work. After the murder of her sisters Dedé decided to take care of their children. Between 1992 and 1994 Dedé started the Mirabal Sisters Foundation and the Mirabal Sisters museum to continue her sisters legacy. Dedé was the last surviving sister of the family. While she died at the age of 88, Dedé professed her entire life that it was her destiny to survive so that she was able to "tell their story."''' Sources-
