Luis is my next door neighbor, theirs is the nicest family, my grandson Weston plays with their son when he is at our house. Our thoughts, prayers for comfort for the family and friends while they work through this very tough loss and long journey they have been on. Luis, I will miss your waves and quick chats in the yard, especially us cutting out trees back. Blessings to your family.
