To my sister Bero, you are on the best journey yet... looking back at us with that beautiful smile of yours! You had the source of a BIG heart, and brought out the greater love in each of us, and for that I will forever be grateful. Although my heart is broken and filled with a void, I will cry and laugh as I reminisce our time on earth. I send XOXO to you, dad and Julian. Te quiero con todo mi corazon hermana. Que en paz descanses.

My dearest Veronica,
It is surreal to me that you are gone! For the last 18 years you were more than my best friend and coworker, you were my family! We Laughed, cried and we argued, but in the end we loved each other and had each other's back! You always said you toughened me up and I softened you and that my friend was the beauty of us. A balance point for each other! I will never forget you or our time together, from work, to nights out and the few day trips we took. You had the biggest heart, a feisty soul and a stubborn steak like no other! I miss you more than you can imagine and though I have to get new team members at work no one could ever replace you! Thank you for all the memories and RIP my friend! I love you!
