My deepest condolences to the Quintanilla family on your loss. Francisco and I started a friendship when we started first grade together at Bruni Elementary and we would share the memories of hanging out at Colonia Guadalupe area where I grew up in the 60s every time we ran into each other at the mall or at other events. May the good memories you shared with him help you through this difficult time. God bless you. Rest in peace my friend. Renato Santos

You had always been there for me and I love you so much, you took care of me all the time and I wish back then I told you more. Every waking moment, I cherished with you without realizing it. I slowly everyday since you’ve been gone go back and remember every memory and hold it close to my heart.
