En nombre de la Familia Lozoya Gonzalez, mi papa Roberto Lozoya, mi mama Esperanza Gonzalez y nosotros Beto, Mayte y Alma, queremos mandar nuestras condolencias a la Familia Velez Lozoya por el sentido fallecimiento de mi tio Francisco Cortez Velez , nos unimos en Oracion por el eterno descanso de su alma y que brille para el la luz perpetua. Amen.
I am his great grand daughter. I am the daughter of Angel. My name is Amanda and what I want to say is the year 2020 has been very hard for me because the 2 most important people in my life past away. It was my welito pancho who’s real name is Francisco Velez Cortez and the second person was my dog Abby. So what we all have in common is that are heart got broken and we suffered. But I think it was a good choice that he died because he was suffering a lot. I was suffering more than him because I cried for hours got my heart broken 10 or more times on that year. I was 9 on that year and month but I turned 10. I know on how much it hurts our hearts but mine hurts way worse mine hurts every single day because of the moment he left me.
I am the same person (Amanda) I just want to say that I am 11 know and I still miss him but it’s fine if my great grandfather is well reasting in peace he is still with us I can sense his presents around my family when we’re together at family parties we will always miss him but if we do we will always have him in heart.
This is what I want you guys remember
Beast friends are never apart maybe in distance but never in heart. Oh and he can be our best friend (bff)
