To the Cruz Family:
I was deeply saddened when I came home to this heartbreaking news. I'm so sorry for your loss. May God welcome Luis with open arms into heaven above where he will be in great health sitting next to his dad having a good old time for all eternity. I don't think there was ever a time that I saw Luis without a smile on his face, speaking nothing but kind words. He will be missed by all who knew him. My condolences to the entire Cruz family - all of whom I consider part of my extended family.
