Isabel, are there any news reports on this? If they're in Spanish, I can use Google translate, are there any suspects, do you know?

If there is anything we can do for you, please do let us all know.

You are in my prayers Isabel.

thank you all for your kindest words.. it really helps knowing I have people prayers for us.. thank you


that morning.. he was going to several banks to make payments.. I asked to go along as I wanted to check some stuff too.. he said he´d do it for me.. I insisted in going.. he again told me he´d do it.. so I took his offer up... he left with the biggest smile.. waved good bye and made a face at me (some kind of face we made to each other to say without words I love you)..

my BIL girlfriend told me she could not reach my BIL.. he wouldn´t pick up his phone.. I told her they were probably inside the bank as they had several ones to go to and that´s why he didn´t pick up..

I called hubby.. he didn´t picked up either.. so I waited.. after like 30-40 mins and no calling back... it got weird..

then we got a call... they just said there was some shooting involved but no one told us what happened or how they were.. I literally got mad and demanded and answer.. not really the one I wanted... they didn´t wanted to tell me because of my condition...

they both were ambushed as they were leaving one of the banks... they both tried to repell the assault with no luck.. thankfully they died instantly...

my heart breaks everytime I think about it.. and everytime I learn something new about the happenings... supossedly they caught several vehicles (at least 5 were involved, teh bank cameras caught it all on tape) but mostly all have been released as they are not quite the same.. perhaps same make/ model but wrong color or people, etc..

I wasn´t asked to recognize his body.. I would´ve certainly died there.. his casket was closed... didn´t need to see him.. imagining why would that be is enough to haunt me... I´d rather remember him as when we said goodbay that morning

he left and was honored in the way he would have liked.. all the courtship way the sirens were wailing.. he was escorted by uniformed men... I hold my head high.. he deserved all that and more...

I think he left too soon.. but God must´ve needed him more up there... and since he only chooses the best.. he took him along...

he had accomplished so many thing in his life.. many things other people never get or take double or triple the time to get them... I could see him satisfied and happy with that he had done so far... maybe his mission was accomplished here on earth...

life just got harder down here.. but I know he´ll be looking after us... and these two precious babies we have will help me keep going strong.. for them.. for him and for all we had..

I had always told him I dedicated the song "how do I live" to him...well.. it became a reality.. it sure will be the hardest thing to do.. but I have to keep it together for our children.. I know he wouldn´t like to see me sad.. but I can´t help it.. I love him so much...

I keep checking my phone to see if he has called or texted me.. .. I even have texted him..

-------------------------------------------------

yes Karen, there are tons of news about it... I´ll PM you the name and you can look it over.. I tried.. but it´s too much for me...

some people are even trying to stain his name.. and that has made me so angry and impotent... I don´t understand these people... he just died and they are saying bad things about him.. and worse.. untrue things...
