Dear big brother, forgive me for not going to see you when i went to the United States and also for not going to see you when you came here to Puerto Rico. I want you to know that I’m going to miss you a lot and it hurts me that we haven’t met in person. Thank you for loving me and treating me like your younger sister and always giving me the affection and the place of sister. I’m going to miss your messages and our long conversations on the phone a lot. Forgive me why I won’t be able to be with you at your funeral but as you know I’m a mother of two little girls and the lack of money prevents me from doing so. I am grateful to God for having met you and having had you as a brother. I will always love you and I will never forget you.
Sincerely your little sister Michelle.

Dear Luis,
I want to leave these words in honor of the place you hold in my daughters’ lives.
You showed them kindness in ways that felt safe and steady. You listened to them, laughed with them, and treated them with respect. In your presence, they felt seen and valued, and that is something children carry with them forever.
Because of you, they learned that love can be gentle, patient, and sincere. They learned that there are people in this world who care deeply and expect nothing in return. That lesson will stay with them as they grow.
Even though you are no longer here, what you gave them has not disappeared. It lives on in their memories, in their sense of trust, and in the warmth they still feel as you will always be remembered.
Thank you for loving my daughters in the way you did. Your place in their story will always matter.
Rest in Power! God Bless You, We will forever love you!
Maria

Querido Hermano:
No hay palabras para describir lo que siento en este momento. El dolor invade mi corazón y mi alma. Lo ocurrido fue una desgracia que no debió ocurrir. No dejo de pensar en como pasaron las cosas. Quiero agradecerte por todo el amor que nos diste y por cuidarnos después que Papi se nos fue. Es demasiado triste pensar que ya no voy a tener a mi hermano mayor para continuar viviendo juntos. Nos faltaron más viajes, más aventuras, más momentos juntos. Aunque no es fácil acepto la voluntad de Dios porque todo tiene un propósito y él es quien nos dará la fortaleza y consuelo para sobrellevar tu ausencia. Al menos tengo la certeza de que ya estás con Dios, con Paula y Papi y ya no sufres más. Te amaré por siempre Luisito. Hasta que Dios nos vuelva a encontrar. Tu hermana Yamira/Yamy.

Oh Lou where do I even start . You don’t understand the impact you made on Angel and my life . You literally were the father we both didn’t have . You were there in every important moment in our lives . && The love you showed Bebo, we are truly so grateful for it . You was he’s favorite person and never told him no either . He misses you so much. He knows you’re up in heaven watching over him . He told me “ Lou is my Angel in the sky “ I’m gonna make sure he never forgets his welo I promise “de corazón papi” im so upset he couldn’t say his final goodbye to you today but it’s okay we all know how big your heart was . We love you Lou
