Paquito, you were truly such a wonderful, deeply caring, most loving beautiful soul. You touched my heart deep, I'm so blessed that the Lord permitted me to meet you and have a beautiful relationship. You have taught me so much about life, trying new foods like Filipino food and dumplings, taught me more about Christ, showed new places like hiking in Mission Trials, showing me Christian songs, teaching me about how truck business works,You were my best friend. I'll miss our Bible study's , our nightly prayers, our late night calls, our Snapchat videos we'd send, I miss your beautiful singing voice, your silly laugh, your funny jokes, your sweet big warm smile. Your gentle warm hugs. I miss our walks in the park, I miss our coffee dates, I miss our times we went to church together, i loved how smart you were, if you didn't know an answer, you'll go searching for it.I miss everything about you. Thank you for always caring, being patient and loving me. These past 7 months with you have been truly the happiest and I'll forever cherish the beautiful memories we created. You impacted me on how to keep on working hard for your goals. You were such a hard worker, always told me to never give up! Keep on pushing forward. I know that you're now happy, your at peace Paquito. And that gives me peace and comfort knowing that you're truly happy living with our Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord has a plan for our lives. His plan is always Perfect, even if we don't understand and it hurts. Your okay now mi Paquito. I love you. I will forever be remembering you and keeping your memory alive with me. - The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord - Job 1:21
