I had the greatest opportunity to work with Amilcar while at Senior Whole Health and he made sure that all the seniors knew me as "Dona Julia" we always laughed when people realized I wasn't that old. He was a great person who will be forever missed.

My sympathies to the Miranda and extended family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Manny was a great man with a huge heart and always had the ability to make you laugh or smile on the roughest of days , Manny used to come to the office to help us with interpreting and always manage to talk his way into "getting" one of our pens because he was always such a great help he always managed to get one. We will miss his smiling face here. We amy have lost an amazing man but God a gained a beautiful angel.
