Words can not express the sorrow I have for the loss of my father-in-law. Mr. Hernandez (as I respectfully called him for the past 32 years) filled a special part of my heart as a father figure when we loss our dad 24 years ago. I will miss the stories about his life during WWII. How his face would light up when speaking of Mrs. Hernandez and his memory of her when they were children and when they fell in love. I am truly blessed for all the years of laughter and love both Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez shared with me and my family. I do find some comfort in knowing that he is joined with his love Jennie, and imagine them dancing to "As Time Goes By".
