It's hard to beleive that just last week, Fernando was having dinner and visiting with us. One week later, we no longer have him with us. I will miss his stories, jokes, and most importantly him. His passing was so unexpected, I didn't even get a chance to say "goodbye". He used to always say "Adios no te digo, mejor te digo, ay nos miramos". Rest now in the arms of the Lord. Your work here is done. I've been blessed to have known you for as long as I did. May God give your family strength to carry on without you, the pilar of the family. Well "Fernie", "Adios no te digo, mejor te digo, ay nos miramos". We love you Grandpa Fernie. We will miss you dearly, thank you for everything that you've done, and thank you for being you. May God bless you always.
