Just heard about Dr. Cortes passing. He was my father"s doctor AND friend for 30 years. We all got the opportunity to get to know him and he was an exceptional person and caring doctor. This is hard for everyone . My father is deeply sorry and asked me to offer all of you his deepest sympathies . Virgilio Hernandez (MIami,Fl)

Josefina, Angela, Maria, Christina & Colin: While on vacation, I learned of your loss. I will always remember Dr. Cotes fondly, listening to music in the family room when we were pre-teens. I will keep him, and all of you in my prayers.
All my love,

Cristina Cortes
