I was so saddened to hear about Santi's passing. I saw his only 2 weeks ago looking happy and healthy. I have no doubt that the short time he was with us, he lived life to the fullest and gave nothing but love and happiness to others. I want to wish peace and health to his smiling wife and beautiful children. Go with God.

My most heartfelt condolences Jackie, girls, Santi's parents, sister & family.
I won't say good~bye Santi, for we shall see each other again someday.
You walked into the Cancer center & into my heart in September 2011, for over a yr. I saw you 5 days a week. You had your good days & some not so good, but you still managed to be your sweet self & smile even if it was a little crooked one. I knew in my heart you were fighting a war that none of us could understand unless we walked in your shoes. You fought relentlessly, never missing a single therapy, you had so much courage & enthusiasm.
I thank you & God for the opportunity to have gotten to know you, Jackie & your beautiful girls & parents.
I miss you so much, my Sunshine... Rest now & be at peace.... Que en pas ya descanses.

I will always remember your special gift of never giving up..your persona touched so many. I'm thankful I got a chance to call you my friend. Nunca te olvidare amigo! Estaras en nuestros corazones y ayi y en el cielo descansaras!

Timothy 4: 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
