Thoughts of deep & sincere sympathy are with you all at this difficult time. I will never forget when you all moved into the neighborhood. Carmen & Josie were walking up the hill from school with me & Anna. There was your dad standing outside waiting with a glow in his eyes with the biggest smile when he saw his two girls. That picture has always been with me. I am sure he is looking down at each one of you with that big smile with comfort.
