Querida familia: siento no poder acompañarlos en estos momentos difíciles.
Estoy en NYC con mi hija y familia, el jueves los papás salieron de la ciudad, estoy con mis nietos.
Mañana a las 10 am. iré a misa, me uniré a ustedes en sus oraciones y al recibir la eucaristía.
Maria Elena fue una mujer inolvidable, siempre estará en mi pensamiento.
Descansa en Paz querida amiga.
My deepest condolences to the Serrano family. It was always a pleasure to see Mari Elena. I really enjoyed her dancing at family parties and how she always lifted everyone’s spirits. I pray that God blesses and consoles you during this difficult time.
Abuelita I love you so much. You were the light of my life that made all my days bright. You were always life of the party, you brought people together through your infectious passion and energy. You always made people feel like they were safe, like they were at home, and most importantly loved. You are living through me each day as I seek to replicate that joy and love for life you possessed. The word “focus” will always stick with me and remind me of you, I l miss you Abuelita, I am carrying on your legacy and living for you each day. You are forever on my mind and in my heart, until we meet again
Love,
Nicholas
