Having a passion for music, in our memories he will always be remembered as our 'salserito habanero.' We wanted to dedicate all of our love to him and remind him he will always have a place in our hearts. Gone but never forgotten. Pata de palo con mucho amor para ti de Maria: Siempre te recordare, te voy a extranar mucho, siempre te trendre en mi Corazon. De Yudy: papi siempre sere tu pasta linda, te quiero mucho y siempre estaras conmigo para siempre te lo prometo. De: Racet, papi perdoname por hacerte sufrir. I love you siempre te recondare. De: Michel, papi te admire y te quiero que dios te tenga en la Gloria que descanses en paz. In remembrance of a wonderful, amazing person that in our memories he will live, in our hearts he will stay and will forever be with us, Carlitos. Remember that you mean the world to us and we will see you soon.
With all our love,
Your family.
