I will miss you my dear friend-family. You escorted me in Cuba for my graduation many years ago when we were young and never imagined that we would all end up in this great country of freedom and opportunity. We loved you well, for you did well all your life. You leave a void that no one can fill, but we, your family and friends will carry you in our hearts until we meet again in a better place.
