Es dificil decir adios a mi mejor amigo. Contigo compartimos los buenos momentos que nos dio la vida. Nuca discutimos ni nos molestamos por nada. Yo extranare las largas conversaciones que teniamos en la Casa de los Paqueques o Friendlys. Siempre estuviste dispuesto a escuchar o a dar un sabio consejo. Bendiciones para ti y tu amorosa familia. Adios amigo. Pronto estaremos juntos.
