Dear Maria and Helen,
I am going to miss Papa. He was a sweet and loving gentleman . Y'all have been wonderful neighbors and more like family really. I will remember the way Papa would always call me "honey,"and that he always had a hug and a smile when I'd see him. It was wonderful to be with you all last week. We already miss you, Papa. God bless you, Papa. Stay strong , girls, and you have our family always.
Love, Mariana
