Thank you Lord, for allowing me time with my brother at the end of his life, when he most needed me.  This time allowed us a renewed relationship and helped us to understand each other better.  Thank you for allowing us time together for laughter, dinners,  and family get-togethers.  Thank you for all the good times.

Pepe was brilliant in so many ways.  He had a magnetic personality and was generous with his advice and even money if someone needed it.  He loved his children and was always concerned about their well-being.     

He also took care of the details and finances of our Mother's funeral, which was of great help to me and our Dad. 

When he learned he was dying, he reminded me he did not want any drama.  He did not want anyone to know.  It was hard to keep his wish.  It's still difficult to believe that he's gone...He's sorely missed...
