    " Thank you very much for all your of support and your prayers our family really appreciates all of your condolences. Hector left us unexpectly and left us with broken hearts. He was and will always be a great father to our children Andres and Kianna it is a blessing for our kids to have their father as their guardian angel. He was a wonderful father who dedicated his short life of taking care of his family and was very proud of it. A great son who was always checking up on his Jefita and his Ruquito. A caring brother, grandson, uncle, cousin and friend who was always joking around even when he had a bad day at work. We will always miss him and remember him dearly. Hector will always be in our hearts. WE LOVE YOU DADDY-O!!!!! "
