Frances, Lennette, Guero, Damian,
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens. “The boys” always had in their heart that your dad was their “Tata”, not their Tio because of the time and the love he always had for them. He always took care of them and I know he always will. Peace, prayers and blessings.
