Friends and family,
I am most most grateful for friends and relatives who reached out to me at this time of sorrow. My family and I appreciate having you with us at this difficult time in our lives. Your words have meant a lot to me as I mourn the loss of my mother and my grandmother (24 days apart). I apologize for not responding to each message personally, but please know that each note brought us comfort during this difficult time.
Salamat.
Raul
