I heard it was time for you to go and join all your loved ones up in heaven.
It saddened me to hear you had gained your wings, and at the same time at peace that you are no longer suffering.
I'm sorry I could not be there to say goodbye.
Just know that you will forever be in my heart.
Rest in peace Ruthie say hello to Papi for me.
My condolences to the Irizarry/Delgado family
Always...I love you
