Bela,

Não sei se devo escrevêr êm Inglês ou Português.Nêm sei se vais vêr isto, pois quando a tua mãe me disse do Carlos, ela chorava tanto, que eu começei a procurar os jounais do Estado onde o teu ex marido viveu contigo antes de tu te mudares.

He loved you so,much pá.Sometimes I told him that was not love, was addiction.You 2 went separate ways, but..., Ele amava tanto tu como as vossas filhas. A tua mãe disse que ele recasou. È pá tenho pena da familia nova dele. But, think, that how great it is to love 2 familias at the same time. Because, knowing him, I know he always will love you ans you two girls. And the new family.Come to see us. We know that you are devasteted, and the girls too. You need your friend now. Come visitar. My English is not very good, e eu não sei if I have to write in Português ou Inglês.

Força e beijos.From all of us at the hospital where you both worked and untill today are so special to us.

Your friends forever,

O pessoal do Curry

My Dear Bella, Sara & Jessica,

I couldn’t believe when I heard of Carlos. I had to look up on the Internet. I enjoyed meeting him at Jessica’s Baptism in Maryland with all of you. I knew your family, since you two were married.And after that,always amazed me that you both remained such great friends. I was very happy to see him joking with you all the time with those "Portuguese jokes”. He did care for you and was a great father. I don't know his new family, but I am very sorry for them as well. I pray that you all will find peace in your hearts. My love, and sorrow goes to you Bella, Sara, Jessica and his new family.

Love,

Doc

Carlos will always be missed. He did brick work on my house and was always a joy to be around. He later started working with my friends father on brick jobs for him. You would always see a smile on his face and made the people around him joyful.
