My Brother in Christ Arthur Marin,

My condolences to You and your Family. Though I did not know your Father all that well during our high school years, I do know that your Father valued your education. Having recently been united with you and your family after many years, it's apparent that your Father knew all along what it took to be a Great Father.

Love,
Osvaldo C. Vela
