My dearest nouno. I have never been so blessed in my life to have had you as a godfather. You were the best godfather in the world and I loved you very much. You were kind, warm, caring and loving. I'm sorry I was scared of your mustache when I was little. I wish my father never had us leave Indiana to come to New York. I missed so much quality time with you and nouna and the kids. Those memories from Indiana will stay with me in my heart, mind, and soul. You are in the loving arms of God and you can rest in peace.

Love your Goddaughter
