Dear Ambre,
I am so sorry that you and your two precious children have to endure such loss. I saw the story of Dino's passing on the news yesterday and wasn't sure if I should contact you or not. But then I saw this guestbook and felt I should at least acknowledge your terrible loss. Although we haven't been in contact for about six years, I still think of you. I pray that God will give all three of you the strength you will need in the coming days, weeks, months and years. Take care, love, Aunt Marjie

Tristain and Millie,
I want you both to know that your Dad was one of my heroes. I knew that when he was around, I had nothing to worry about. He always had my back. One thing about your Dad, is that he never had any friends. He only had family. He was fiercely loyal and one of the most loving men I ever known. I'm proud to be known as "Dino's Little Brother". And I'm equally proud to be your uncle. I love you both. Take care of your mom and remember I'm only a phone call away.

Your Uncle Paco
