Angie, recuerdo cuando llegaste de Nueva York lista para turistear con Abilio alla por el año 1963... Pepe y yo recien casados y ustedes se quedaron con nosotros unos dias y la pasamos divino! Pepe recuerda con mucho cariño las aventuras en la finca... yo ahora pienso en lo mucho que te van a extrañar los tuyos porque tu fuiste tan importante para ellos. Descansa en paz.
