What a wonderful big brother Luis was! I can´t remember a single time in my life that he ever scolded me for any reason. Instead, he always had a kind word, quick witted response or a joke of some sort to keep us on our toes...oh how I miss you Luis...but, like you used to call them "la jefita y el jefito " are rejoicing/celebrating to have you with them. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and many others.
Rachel, Dina, Jenny, Ellie, & family, May God bless you and give you strength and peace during this difficult time. He loved you with all his soul and all his might! I love you all!
