Your daughter, Isabella, never got a true chance in getting to know you but she loved you and misses you. At her young 6 years of age she prays for you and is happy that amongst all this pain, she gained a family. You left me the greatest gift and, as I promised to you on the day before you left this earth, and as I've always done.. she's the first priority in my life. I pray for your eternal rest in God's kingdom.

As I was growing up, I remember that Santos was always the life in the room. He was always very helpful and guiding to me, as well as always welcoming. Santos always had a way of cheering you up. With much love and respect I can say this - thank you Lord for having him in my life, hopefully I can be the type of person he was.
