    I have no words Cousin because I will never understand the pain you feel. I’ll always remember Mando as a sweet, quiet and simple man. May GOD give you the strength to get through this chapter in your life. Remember, Mando was sent to you from above to nurture, guide, love and most important teach him to love the Lord. Set his foundation, if you will. I know you accomplished that and more. I believe you will see one another once again. Keep your eyes on the Lord cuz. He will get you through this along with all of us who love you. I am always here if you need me.

    I am so very sorry about Mando’s passing. I didn’t get the privilege to know Mando, but I’ve heard about him for over 20 years. I’m blessed to know his mom and sister and if he was anything like them I know he was a wonderful and sweet person. Gloria, Gracie, Gabby and family – you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you much love.

    Bear, You cared for me when I didnt know how to love myself. You always had such a positive outlook. I pray that you made it HOME. I will continue to pray for your family. You will be missed Bear, but where you are now is such a better place to be! or a Gooderellington place (as you would say)
