Yvonne and Spanky,
I am truly sorry for your loss. I am so grateful to have had the honor of knowing and having Santos as a part of our family. He always showed respect, love and dedication and was a wonderful example to all of us. He was more than just a friend to us, he was a brother. He was always there for us, and as you both endure this trying time, we are here for you. We love you and will continue to keep you in our prayers. Remember, we are only a phone call away.
