Thank you por todo Dad! You helped us all so much with so many things throughout the years. How I wish I could go back to being younger and be messing around at the house like we us too. Feeling confident that you would have our backs. Or laughing because you told us another crazy chiste. You mean a lot to us and there are so many memories. Now it's time for you to rest Dad, but I know we will see each other again one day. God bless you.
