Mi mas sicero pesame a la familia Aguilar, no hay palabras que puedan consolar en estos momentos, solo Dios les dara el consuelo que tanta falta hace, no entendemos a veces por que las cosas, pero si creemos en Dios y que El es nuestro creador y que nos ama y que desea lo mejor para nosotros, vamos a aceptar sus deciciones y saber con certeza que El no se equivoca, Dios los bendiga a atodos para poder fortalecerse y recuperar fuerzas hasta el dia perfecto en que todos nos volvamos a reunir y con un fuerte abrazo unirnos para siempre y no separarnos nunca mas, dia bendito que ha de llegar.

My most sincere condolences to the Aguilar family. Francisco was such a blessing to all, especially his teenaged and adult friends made through AFS. He was an outstanding teacher and leader for children navigating the strange waters of two new cultures, and he gave unselfishly to those teens. He will be mourned all over the world.
I will miss him and his friendship. God takes the best first, and my friend was one of the best!
