My deepest sympathies especially for Santi, Fina,and Paco. The children and I loved Papi and have been sharing many memories about Papi and how we plan on keeping his memory alive. I just got Lily a " You Are my Sunshine" locket so that she may keep her Abuelo close to her heart. He was my father in law for 26 years- and remains a part of my heart. I'm glad I got to tell him how much I loved him one last time.

Santi,
Sometimes we forget the sacrifices that our parents make for us.Your parents left Cuba to give you a better life and opportunity. Your father like your mother worked hard to make life better for you. I was always impressed by the superior command of the spanish language your father had. Despite his intelligence he was a humble man.His spirit has left his body, but his soul will be in your heart forever.
