To the Armenta family, my deepest condolences on the passing of your daddy. Your daddy was quite a character. Always made me laugh when ever I saw him. Definitely going to miss running into him at all these different stores buying up all those lotttery tickets. Thoughts and prayers go out to each one of you.
To my Padrino, I can't Thank you enough for all the help you and my Madrina gave me and my parents while I was just a kid. I'm forever grateful that we were able to reconnect over these past several years.
You'll not be forgotten. Te Amo Nino !!!
