Nuestro mas sentido pesame a toda la familia que mi Dios lo tenga en su santa gloria ya que sabemos que Francisco era una persona muy querida por toda su familia y amigos , nosotros la familia Mendoza Laura, Mari, Marcela, Yasmin, Narda, Francisco, Omar Eduardo y Marcea siempre lo tendremos en nuestros corazones especialmente Eduardo. Francisco nombro a uno de sus hijos por el que eran muy buenos amigos desde la escuela. Que mi Dios le de toda la paz que necesita toda su familia para sobrepasar este terrible perdida.

Dios realmente se llevo un angel. El poco tiempo que te trate me di cuenta que eras una persona admirable. You were so polite to me always. You were a good husband, father, son, and friend. God bless you, Adriana, and your beloved boys.

Nuestro mas sentido pesame a toda la fam. Cota, en especial a la esposa e hijitos de Pancho quien fue muy buen amigo de mi hermano Javier (scooby) y siempre muy carinoso con mi mama.
Fue muy injusta la manera en que te apartaron de tus seres queridos pero tambien de aqui en adelante ellos tendran su angelito que los cuidara por siempre. Descansa en paz.
