Dear father, I remember six months ago when we spoke and you were telling me about how you were coping with your condition and how there were certain things you could not do anymore.
It was at that exact moment you looked up at me and saw that I was getting emotional and you said,no son don't cry, don't be sad, you told me it was just part of life.
You made me promise you that I would not cry and not be sad and just have a beer on you.
Well aside from the beer part dad this will be the hardest promise I will ever have to keep.

To the strongest man I will ever know.
Love forever
Your son Johnny Yuma

Para la familia Galvan,

Les acompañó en su pesar? Unas palabras de consuelo que nos da Dios se encuentra en su palabra la biblia. En hechos capítulo 24 versiculo 15 donde él promete qué va haber una resurrección de nuestros seres queridos que han fallecido. Está eso una gran muestra de su amor que nos tenie a nosotros.
