Celeste,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him personally, I feel like I knew him because of all of the stories you told me about him every day. I am sure that he left this world both happy and proud of everything that he achieved: a great wife, wonderful kids and grandkids, and very good friends.
I would like to grow old like him, happy with life, always joyful and with a great sense of humor. Everyone gets what he or she deserves, and I am sure that God has something planned for each of us.
Well, Celeste, I hope that you feel better soon. Your family and your students need you, and we love you and your family very much. Remember that you have friends (and a son) here in Atlanta, and when you can, please come and visit. We miss you.
All the best,
Cesar Macuare and Family

We were so sorry to hear about Tony's passing. He was such a nice and helpful man. Always so faithful to help us with our taxes. He gave our son his first baby spoon, and started his first insurance policy. We wished we would have been to the funeral. Unfortunately, and we are so sorry, we didn't find out that our old friend, Tony, passed away until the 27th. We are so sorry. All our thougths and prayers are with you all. Jesus watch over all of you, and may He be with you in this very difficult time. We loved Tony very much, he was a good man.
