I remember the time I met up with Titi and Migdalia when the family was visiting Disney. We had a wonderful opportunity to meet up with them for dinner. At that time, Tio passed away a few months back. She remarked how I reminded her of Tio. It was a huge compliment as Tio was always a kind person who loved his family. Something I want to be emulated. May God bless her with eternal happiness.
