My Grandmother (Mi Abuela) was an Inspiration to Me and many others. She is responsible for helping Me to become the Great Man that I am Today. She is one of the strongest Women that I have ever known and although she is no longer with us, her spirit always will be. I Love You and I Miss You Abuela….Vaya con Dios!!
