Delgado Family (our neighbors):
Words seem so useless at a time like this, but we had to let you know how much we hurt with you. It's hard to understand how Nena's suffering has now turned into a time of celebration and joy for her now that she's in the land of "no more tears."

It would be selfish for us to want to bring her back, but down deep how we wish we could. It's good to know that your children are close by and will be looking after you, Ishmael, in the difficult days ahead. May a lifetime of wonderful memories give strength to you and the Delgado family in the days ahead.

Please accept our deepest sympathy. We send our love to your wonderful family.
