To Padrino Agapito and Prima Rosario:
I am so sad that my Madrina passed away, but in a sense, I am happy she is no longer suffering and is now with our Lord. It also saddens me that our family cannot attend her funeral. I'm hoping you will understand. Please accept our sincere and heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now. I just want to add that I have some wonderful memories of Madrina, especially when all of us went down on that trip to San Pedro. Those were some crazy and happy times. I wish we could have done the trip many more times. Padrino, Rosario and Madrina's family ... may the peace of our Lord, which surpasses all understanding, be with you all throughout your grieving period. May all your happy memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. We all love you very much. I sincerely wish we all had lived closer to one another to share many more memories.
Yours in Christ,
Uvaldo, Angela, Christopher, Sydney, y (on behalf of) el resto de la family Lopez
