  1. Dear Father,

    Even though we knew nothing of each other, I give you thanks for a loving mother. I have always loved you with all my heart, and now I must set you free to rest in peace.

    your son,

    David Soto

    I love you dad I had so much to say
    and now I don't get the chance to say,
    because you have been taken away.

    God saw you getting tired,
    When a cure was not to be.
    So He wrapped his arms around you,
    and whispered, "come to me."

    You didn't deserve what you went through,
    So He gave you rest.
    God's garden must be beautiful,
    He only takes the best


    Thank you Dad!

  4. Saludos a tod@s los familiares y amigos de mi hermano Joaquín.

    Ustedes no me conocen, yo soy Margarita Rendón Mendoza, la hermana menor de Joaquín y me enteré de su fallecimiento por nuestro hermano Luis. Hace mucho tiempo que no tenía contacto con él, la última vez que lo ví fue en el funeral de nuestra madre.

    Yo tenía como cuatro años cuando el se fue a los Estados Unidos. Recuerdo que en dos ocasiones vino, cuando se casó con Penny y luego cuando trajo a tres de sus hijos.

    Aunque mi familia y yo nos encontramos fisicamente muy lejos, compartimos su perdida y les enviamos nuestras mas sinceras condolencias y mejores deseos.

    Me hubiera gustado convivir más con él, sin embargo les ofrezco mi desinteresada amistad. Actualmente vivo en la Ciudad de México, si alguna vez gustan contactarme lo pueden hacer al correo electrónico de mi hija apartado.postal@gmail.com
