My Brother's I love you you all so much. I'll always remember my aunt Esther as the most loving person,
and will never forget her greeting to me (Mi Hito) I love you and always be happy she would say. She's resting with our Lord now and in peace. May God Bless all of you and tighten the bond between you all, that is so important and would be what your Mom would be so happy to see, because that would mean a tight bond with our Lord Jesus Christ.
May God be with you all Love
Julian and Family.

Dearest Cousins,
God knows I loved Aunt Esther, she was like my second mom. She was always sweet and kind to me and I know she loved me too! I want you all to know that I love you, and I am here for you always. I am very proud to know that you all had love, which is what it takes to care for a loved one who is ill. I am sure everyone contributed whatever they could and remember that siblings are all different and we all have something different to contribute, bottomline is that you all did it together. I am sure that give your Mom and Dad a wonderful feeling. May the Lord be at your side to guide you and help you make the right choices, like your Mom said. We are all so blessed with such a wonderful family, it took our Moms and Dads to make it that way and we must pass that on to our children. Love you All, your cousin Barbara Corona
