Not only was I blessed with the best Papi a girl can wish for but my kids had the gift of a wonderful grandpa. Papi you would tell Tati she was your Angel, Elliott your buddy but Papi that is you to them always and forever. I miss you so much and I thank God for all the beautiful memories I have. Fun times we had traveling, eating and simply being. Love you Papi!! ❤️
