Not sure what to say?

You were a becon of light for so many! Your kindness and gentle soul did not go unnoticed. You and Carmen made an impact on my life, and you will never be forgotten!

Meeting Carmen & Nelson on our Cuba trip was a true blessing! I valued their friendship over the years. I cannot say enough wonderful things about each of them. My prayers to Carmen & family. I am sure Nelson is looking over us. The earth lost a great man, but Heaven gained an awesome Angel. Love to all, Sign me Brokenhearted Bar
