Our thoughts and prayers go out to each and every member of Fernando's family.
We had not seen Fernando in years-yet fate somehow brought us near his home, so we stopped to see him. Less then 2 weeks before he passed on; we bid farewell to the one we were proud to have called our brother-in law. May he rest in peace.
