Mr. Nava, I can hardly believe your gone. Your smile resonates in my head daily and your laughter while sharing stories will forever ring in my ears. Your genuine kindness and care of others will always be a shining example of how you should treat others. You have never met a stranger and every stranger quickly became your friend. You took the time to care and listen to everyone. Poor Rosie could never get you out of a store from all your friend making. Your legacy of greatness will live on in your family and your examples of greatness will live on in me .I will always be there for Nic, Chuck and Rosie and will be all smiles with every conversation that will be a laughing memory of you. Rest In Peace Mr. Nava. Thank you for your influence.
