I was thinking about Mr. Maldonado this morning and then I found out he had passed. I will miss your jokes and laughter. You always left me laughing for a while even after you had left. What a beautiful love story Mrs. Maldonado and Mr. Maldonado had. Your love, your way of life, being close to the Lord was an inspiration to me and many others. We will miss you so much!
