Esperanza was very dear and close to those close to her especially to me, Dominique my sons and Red (Nick). she loved me as much as I loved her and she made it clear she did not care to share me with anyone. I will miss her always.

When her time here on earth was coming to and end I still couldn't ask the Lord to take her so I prayed that he give her peace. I witnessed the peace she had especially the last week and I knew he had answered me. Isaiah 41:10
