Dear Carmen and family,

I am so sorry for your loss and your pain. Hector’s journey was not an easy one, but one that was blessed by a mother, siblings, grandparents and family that showed him unconditional love and support. I can only imagine how he must have jumped and danced to be free of all those things that he needed here on earth. To be able to stand straight, breathe deeply and twirl at his new found freedom. I can only imagine the embrace he got from God and all those that were there to welcome him home. I can only imagine his welcome from Mita and Papa. I know that your pain is great. But remember that it isn’t goodbye ….. But….. See you later.               

Love,
Your Cuz,
Carmen A. Valentin

A carmen y familia mi mas sentido pesame por la perdida de Hector que Dios te de mucha fortalesa y a tu fam. tambien,sinceramente desde lo mas profundo de mi corazon,Maria,willie y familia.

Carmen and Family,

It is with great sadness that I received the news this morning of Hector’s passing. I always enjoyed his laugh and smile. Having been blessed to have been his teacher for several years he and you and your family taught more about what is important in life, love and family. It was worth a whole lot more than anything I was ever able to teach him.

My heart breaks for you all. I wish you strength and peace during this difficult time. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

With Sincerest Condolences,
James Tallent

Dear Carmen,

     My sincere sympathy as you walk this new chapter in your life without him.  May you find peace as you remember the good times you had together.
     You and your family are in my prayers.
Arlene Snyder
