A Eulogy from Felipe.

Hay tanto amor que brilla en este mundo. Tanto el amor que mi papá nos dio, ahora está brillando en nuestros corazones hoy y siempre. Para mí es muy lindo que nos podamos llevar y vivir con nuestros corazones tocado por mi papá.

Con eso yo sé que podemos disfrutar en los recuerdos de nuestra gran familia. Y que podemos seguir riendo, sonriendo y siendo nosotros mismos. Gracias por todo el amor.

It’s really amazing to see so many friends. It’s really special to see the love glowing in everyone today. Because it’s so important that we can continue to smile and laugh. To be ourselves and remember happiness and love in my dad’s name.

He was a very gentle giant with a silly sense of humour. He was mysterious and reserved from the outside, but a very heartwarming and fun person. Honestly you’d be surprised, my mom and dad didn’t actually like each other when they first met. They were very much opposites from each other. Whenever my mom would come over to my dad's family home, he'd hide away because she was so extroverted! One day just to poke fun at him, my mom told him "One of these days, we'll get married" and his response was "ni a la esquina" - in other words; not in a million years! And with time their friendship grew into a beautiful love that'll last forever, and now here we are, spending our time together. To me that’s so special how things work out.

Every time I stood by his side I felt so proud, I felt like I had grown so much to be the person he always was. He’s my best friend and he’s our best friend.

All of the love that my dad gave us, it’s shining in our golden hearts today and always.
