Donald, my wife Esmeralda and I offer our deepest condolences on the passing of your father. He was such a kind and cheerful person that raised a beautiful family. I ran into him and your Mom at Dickie's BBQ in Mission a couple of years ago. I just had to go up to them to say hello. They remembered me as their son's classmate. We had a good conversation, reminiscing about our high school days. May he rest in peace and may God Bless you, your Mom and your whole family.
