I pray God gives the family strength to move on . I'm so saddened and I'm reminded of the pain that is felt when our loved ones are robbed of their lives. Never ever will life be the same. So sad. This world is horrible and cold.

My prayers go out to my aunt and cousins for the loss of Martin and his cousins. May God be with the Haro family through this painful time.
