Dear Maldonado Family,

I deeply regret your loss. Mr Maldonado was my English teacher two years at Rverside High School. It was awesome being his student! We had so much fun in his class and learned so much. He made the subject so interesting. I visited him a couple of times after my graduation and he always shared the same wonderful smile! It was an honor to have been his student. God Bless you !
