El mejor papá adoptivo del mundo, te amo muchísimo, gracias por estar siempre presente en mi vida, por ser una guía y un apoyo incondicional, un ejemplo a seguir, tu vida le dió luz a muchísimas personas en este mundo, que hoy quedamos acá despidiéndote sin entender el porqué, pero con el corazón lleno de amor y ganas increíbles de superación y de siempre ser mejor que ayer, con el corazón roto en mil pedazos cuesta demasiado tener una actitud positiva en estos momentos, pero solo recuerdo como siempre tu lo decías LO MEJOR ESTÁ POR VENIR, gracias por tanto te amamos 🥺❤
Dear Marylin,
Our hearts go out to you and your family at this difficult time. May God be with you and His Spirit comfort you.
It is still very difficult to swallow. The loss of a friend full of joy and dreams that will leave a deep gap in the heart of all we knew him. May your soul Rest In Peace and the Lord pour down all His Mercy unto you dear Betico. All the blessings to his family.
I want to wish my condolences to the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
Words will never be able to express the loss of a dear close friend, specially a person I’ve known for so long and shared most of our career at Intel since we started back in 1998. You were truly unique and truth to your believes in life, don’t recall any day where I can say you were in a bad mood, always offering a smile or a joke to lighten your day.
Until we meet again someday my dear friend, love life….!
Mis sinceros deseos que Dios les brinde paz y tranquilidad en estos momentos. Estoy seguro que compartieron la vida con mucha alegría y disfrutaron plenamente.
