I'm not really sure what to say...It is incredible what you had endured this last year and never once did I ever hear that you didn't wanted to live. You are one of the strongest individuals I have ever known and I'm proud to say that you were my uncle as well as my baptismal Godfather. May God keep you near him and please ask him to watch over us especially Tia Marge. Tio, we will not abandon her. Whatever she needs, we will provide. This is on behalf of Sonia and our daughters, Lizbeth and Betsy.
Your nephew and godson,
Henri M Vasquez
