    I will always remember my dear Tio Marcos for his awesome smile and the way he would make us feel like close family, even though we were thousands of miles from each other. The Cardenas thread is strong and binds us to each other. We are never alone... And always CARDENAS STRONG... ETERNAL LOVE FOREVER!
