Welita,

Te extraño tanto y te quiero mucho. Siempre te voy a tener en mi mente. La vida sin tin no es igual. Siempre voy a apreciarlos los mementos felices que tuvimos. Tu sonrisa y risa... las cosas chistosas que siempre decías y cuando cantabas. Siempre serás la reina de la familia y la mejor welita del mundo.
Nos vemos más tarde te amo.

Descansa en paz ??
