Ronnie, I know you are in a better place then we are. God would not let you leave his sight. And Migdalia, it must be so hard to let someone you love so much out of your reach. But God knows best and the reasons will one day make sense. Your husband is one of Gods angels and will always shine on you. Take care and I am always there if you should ever need me. Love you-Tata,AKA-Anna Rodriguez
