Comadre Maria,Gloria and Family, We are very sorry for your loss. Compadre Pablo will be missed very much. He was a very nice and considerate man. He was very shy when he would talk to me , I will miss him very much, it won't be the same, seeing my comadre maria and he won't be by her side. My heart goes out to all of you. God Bless you all.
