I remember when my dad passed sitting with you at the church held your hand cause we were both so sad and talk! It felt good cause that was as close as I could get to my dad again! BUT I know you are in a better place with the boys and the rest of the family! Love you always Tio Carlos Valverde…there will NEVER be any men again like The Valverde Men!!!!
I can not find the words as to what or how I feel dad. I just know I am numb & my heart will never be the same. My solid never-yielding rock has parted from me for now. Please give me strength & continue to give me your guidance as I continue in life.
