Hector, my very very special and sweet friend from our childhood in the '70's, I can't even find the words to tell you how much I miss you now, and so wish that you could have made it here to the mountains to see us before God had to take you away. You will always have a place in my heart Hector! God bless your family, your mother, your sons. We will all meet up again someday. In the meantime, know that you are loved and missed dearly.
