Precious Cousins, I just stumbled across this information. My sweetest memories growing up were holidays with my older cousins, who tolerated teaching me about football!! I adored Uncle Guillermo and how respectful each of you were to him. Meanwhile, I have a student this year named Guillermo. My sons remember eating with him at Golden Corral, sneaking gummy bears out in a napkin, then riding to their house in the back of the station wagon, facing backwards. Fond memories and precious people who I get to call family. I know you will miss him, but we will meet again in Heaven, where there is no pain nor sorrow. Love from Ohio.
