Our beloved cousins, we extend our deepest condolences on your loss.
I had the honor of meeting Alberto at a family reunion in June 1998. His friendly and positive personality was a strong indication he would become a successful person. We thank Alberto for his dedicated service to our country. You earned our utmost respect.
Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs!
