To all the family, my deepest sympathy for your loss. I just recently learned of his passing. Carlos, my cousin, was a wonderful and very caring person. He was very close to my family and always visited mom and dad when they were alive. I will always remember him and our family reunions. May God bless and console all of you.

To the Jaramillo and extended families of Don Carlos, no words can express your precious loss. Only memories of your husband, father, grand-father, and friend will exist beyond your own heart, soul. and mind. Now, he can rest and sleep with God.
