Tio,
I didn't get to say goodbye but I want to Thank you for everything. For the Wonderful summer vacations I spent with you, tia and my dear cousins. Because of you and your family, I have a great life here in Califoria and I married a great guy who really takes care of me and my family. And I just wanted to let you know that, I am who I am, because of your example, and love I learned to take a chance and I have a new life now.
Thank you for the advice, I won't forget our talks or your wisdom. Thank you for always being proud of my accomplishments. Robert and I will miss you dearly. But I know we will meet again soon.
Peace be with you.
