Primo, Aunque la vida no me brindo la oportunidad de conocerte, se lo significativo de tu perdida para nuestra familia. ¿Quién soy yo? Yajaira, la hija de la Chiquita. Nos conoceremos te lo prometo, cuando yo llegue a la fiesta de los Peña en el cielo, donde estoy segura que el anfitrión es nuestro abuelo Cando Peña a cargo de la guitarra, con su alegría eterna.



A pesar de encontramos lejos aquí en Puerto Rico, nuestros pensamientos y nuestras oraciones se encuentran junto a nuestros familiares allá en Chicago, ante tu irreparable perdida. Rogamos a Dios por tu descanso eterno y que les brinde a tus familiares inmediatos fortaleza.
