My wife Gloria and Myself are trying our best to accept the loss of my mother & also my father one day at a time. I speak from the heart were both my parents are concerned that love is unconditional and there is no other kind, it's not some thing you do half way or when the mood suits you it's a labor of love good n bad happy or sad.
In Loving memory of mi madre & mi padre
