To the Grilo family, My heart is so broken for your loss! My words could never express just how much you all have meant to me. You took me in when nobody else would. I got to see with my own eyes how a family was suppose to be, but I believe yours goes beyond most. I will never forget Manny! He always made me feel like I somehow belonged to you. His kindness, and laughter will always echo in my mind, and I could never forget him or any of you for opening your hearts to a homeless child, when you didn't have to. I could only pray that God heals your heavy hearts! I love you all very much and am with you in heart and spirit! The only comfort is knowing that he was raised in such a Christ loving home, and that he himself is joined with Lord and we will all see him again and eat with him at the great banquet, but until that day comes, he will be greatly missed by many. May God hold you all in his arms and console you! I am deeply sorry!

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me...
