    My thoughts and prayers go out to my cousins and family – for strength and acceptance of a terrible loss. May Tio Galo rest in peace. His legacy will live on through every one that knew him but more importantly through his children and grand children. Abrazos.

    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.
