When I think about uncle Guillermo, the first words that come to mind is kindness,humor,strength and warmth. He had a gift making my husband Mario and I feel seen,valued, and cared for. He did it with a big heart and no expectation of anything in return. Even though it is hard to say good-bye I find comfort in knowing how deeply he loved us and how much of him lives on in the family he shaped and the lives he touched. With our heavy hearts Mario and I hope you find comfort and accept our deepest sympathy to the entire Family Rivera and friends. Rest in Peace Uncle Guillermo you will be missed,remembered and never forgotten with Love Roxanna Garcia-Guerrero and Mario Mauricio Guerrero Alonso.
