Estimada Gretty y Erika, a quienes conozco en persona, y a toda la familia Ortiz, quiero expresarles mi más sentido pésame, Papito Galo como le llamaba mi esposa Paola Ortiz, siempre supe porqué le decía así, siempre que la miraba se le llenaban de lágrimas su ojos y sus palabras expresaban su más profundo cariño hacia ella, algo que sin duda se podía percibir, algo único, ahora con su partida solo me queda pedirle a Dios que lo acoja a su lado, sin duda se ha llevado un gran ser a su lado, se que desde arriba las cuidará y guiará, descanse en paz Don Galo, estará por siempre en nuestra memoria y en nuestros corazones.
Cousins and family…. Saddened to hear the news of the passing of Tío Galo. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May the peace and comfort of the Lord be with you. Abrazos.
