My dear nieces Nena, Mona, Chica and Tina:
We are thinking of you. Our prayers be with you. May God give you the strength to overcome the pain of the loss of a great man, your father, my brother Renato.
I have very fond memories of my brother Renato. When we were young he taught me to swim in Mollendo, Port where we were born, under the big brave waves of the Pacific Ocean. He was kind and very dedicated to me when he lived in Peru and then when he moved to the U. States.
It is hard to say Good Bye but his memory will forever in our hearts.
I lost my husband Tio Lucho last June 20, 2008. We know the feeling of these difficult moments. Please be strong.
Dear brother Renato, God blessed you now please rest in peace. We will always love you.
From Lima Peru: Gladys Rivera de Valencia, Lucho, Susana, Giannina and Martin.

To my dearest cousins ~
On behalf of all my brothers and sisters, I send you our deepest sympathy and love in Uncle Renato's passing. I have very happy, fond memories of him as a child - his enviable patience in the hours he spent catching gold finches (with a fantastic aviary!), his unfailing kindness to us all, his always smiling, cheerful face, his delightful sense of humor, and his charming, gentlemanly manner. Please pay homage to him and remember him for these beautiful qualities that made him such a remarkable person and a wonderful influence in all of our lives. Our love, thoughts, and prayers are with you, our cousins, today and always ~
Mary, Catherine, James, Melvin, and Chyanna
