Maestas family,
My heart is heavy knowing you are hurting. Milton was one of the kindest, strongest, and most loving men I've ever had the privilege of spending time with. I am saddened by his loss and know that he has been reunited with his son and in that I hope you find comfort.
Lele was there to greet him and reminisce about all he's missed the past 6 years and Milton was filled with joy to share it all.
They look upon you now and see the hurt but know you will all be reunited one day. In that we can trust.
God bless you all! With lots of LOVE to you all my deep condolences.
