Patsy, Eddie, Jennifer, Christina, and family, I am sorry to hear about Cosme! I will always remember fun adventures we had with you guys! Cosme was such a kind soul! Whenever I was with him on a run, he would always ask me to help him pick out a shirt to take back for the family. He always had his family on his mind. My kids and I will never forget the kindness he shared with us! May God bless all of you and bring peace to you knowing you have an amazing force watching you from above!! Cosme may you rest in peace on you eternal last ride! Love, Amy, Alycya, and Jonathan.
